For nogle uger siden, så jeg, i solnedgang, en oase ved Thorsager. Jeg har prøvet at male den nogle gange, især arbejder jeg på at få udtrykket mere abstrakt og stemningsfuldt.

Some weeks ago, I discovered a little oasis by Thorsager, It was sunset. I have tryed, several times, to paint this little oasis and I struggled with getting more loose and reproduce the atmosphere.

Here are three more attempts.

 

Nu har jeg endelig fået taget nogle billeder at 4. klassernes parafraser over Eigil Jacobsen masker. De er udført i Foam Clay over en æggebakke og super flotte.
Børnene er meget stolte og glade. Vi gemmer maskerne til vores Cobra udstilling, men har taget billeder og hængt op på gangen så de glade farver pynter skolen.

Now I've finally got some pictures af 4 classes paraphrases Eigil Jacobsen masks. They are made of Foam Clay build on a egg tray and they are very nice. The children are proud and happy. We store the masks for the exhibition, but we took some photos we have hung in the hallway. The happy colors decorate the school.

Jeg kæmper lidt med min lille oase ved Thorsager. Jeg kunne godt tænke mig at få den mere abstrakt, men det er rigtigt svært at forlade det figurative.

I am struggling at bit with my little oasis at Thorsager. I would like to paint it more abstract, but it's really hard to leave the figurative painting.

Sidste weekend cyklede vi til Thorsager, en by der ligger ca 13 km væk. Vi fik kaffe hos vores ven og kort før solnedgang, cyklede vi hjemover. Thorsager ligger højt og lige uden for byen, før man kører ned, lå em lille oase. Et hjørne af marken, der var for besværligt at dyrke. Jeg prøvede at male den lille sø. Jeg kan se jeg har fået rigeligt meget kulør på de fjerne bakker. Jeg forsøger at male det igen en af de nærmeste dage og håber at blive mere abstrakt.

Last weekend my husbond and I bicycled to one of our friend who live about 13 km from our house. We had coffee and jump on the bicycle short before sunset. Just outside the small town Thorsager, on top of the hill, there was a littel oasis. I think this corner of the field was to difficult to cultivate, and the little lake lay untoutched. I try to paint it, I can se the distance hill should have been more duce. I give it another try and fortunaly I get more loose.

Sidste nyt fra Carla Sonheim årskurset "y is for yellow".
I disse 14 dage, har opgaven været, at forsøge at genkalde sig de ting, man tegnede som barn, og at prøve at tegne dem igen. Vi har også skullet finde børnetegninger, forsøge at klippe elementer ud på frihånd, lave en collage af figuren, male den og kradse den med sandpapir. Af de afklippede rester skulle vi forsøge at lave endnu et billede, male det og kradse det med sandpapir. Teknikken med at slibe billeder med sandpapir bliver vist ikke min favoritdisciplin og jeg valgte at male ovenpå igen med oliepastelkridt.

Latest news from Carla Sonheim year long course "y is for yellow".
In the last 2 weeks, our challenge has been to remember the things we drew as a child, and try to draw them again. We have found old childrens drawings, and we try to cut elements out on freehand, we made at collage of the things we have cut out, painted it and sanded it. We made at collage of the clippings, painted and sanded it too. I dont like to use sandpaper on the paper. This teknic is not my favorite discilpine and I chose to paint with crayons on the picture.

Efter introduktionen til Cobramalerne og fremstilling af automatmaleribilleder, er turen kommet til Cobramaleren Eigil Jacobsen, også kendt som maskemaleren. Børnene så denne introduktion og gik derefter selv igang  med at fremstille de flotteste parafrasemasker i foram clay bygget på æggebakke. Billeder kommer senere.

After the introduction to Cobra painters and painting automaticpaintings, we contunied with the Cobra painter Eigil Jacobsen, he is also known as the mask painter. The children look at this introduction to Eigil Jacobsen and after that, they make intersting masks i Foam Clay on egg trays.
Picturer will be shown later.

Cobramalernes automatmaleri har virket meget inspirerende på børnene. I begyndelsen er det vældigt svært for dem, at finde motiver, men når de først kommer igang, kan de næsten ikke stoppe og de er meget glade for de flotte og farverige billeder.

In this introduction to the COBRA painters, the children loosen up with automatic painting. It has inspired them at lot. In the beginning, it was hard for them, to find motives, but in the moment they found the first figur, they go on and can't stop. They are very proud and the painting is colorfull and bright.

 

 I disse 14 dage har opgave i kurset y i for yellow, været at tegne blindtegning og også arbejde med mange lag og bevarelse af meget lyse områder i billederne.
Jeg har undladt at arbejde med gesso, men har arbejdet med akvarel, neocolor2 samt promarker - det har været rigtigt sjovt og jeg har stort talent for at få de smukkeste mennesker til at ligne noget "katten har slæbt ind".

The past 2 weeks our challenge, in the Carla Sonheim course, has been to draw blind drawing, and paint with many layers and still have som very pale places. I did not work with gesso, but I used watercolor, neocolor2 and promarkers - I had at lot of fun and I think I've got at large talent to make very beautyful people look like somthing the cat draw inside.
