Painting in negative space by Gun-Marie Nalsen 2024

Using acrylics, which is not my favorite medium, I struggled with this negative space painting. One has to think “backwards”, which is not so easy for me. I think that it came out quite good. That exercise I did with my daughter Anne-Marie. It was fun! I also did the two ones that are under, but with watercolors, it is a bit different because the colors are milder.

Watercolors, gouaches, watercolor pencils in my SketchBook

This trip took 12 hours from L.A. to S.F. It was a beautiful day and I saw the seashore almost all the

way, wonderful experience! After I went to Pleasanton, after to a racing park , where we met a musician

who was writing music, very interesting. Some paintings from the S.F. Golden Gate, which is so big

and beautiful.

Needle felting

Hand dyed wool roving on wool fabric

Different type of pieces in felting, it is a very rewarding technique. It is like painting with watercolors, as you do it by layers. Very recommended hobby!
