What I can offer in my online Art Gallery

HBH-Art Online Gallery

 Now you have entered  one of the numerous online galleries available on the net, and I will welcome you inside for a tour. Why is this online gallery worth sacrificing a little time? Because I in some areas stand me out a little.

High quality materials and technique.

First of all, I paint paintings, and I make sure that all of my materials are of super high quality. For the canvas, I use an extra strong quality stretcher bars, which shall purchase by meter, so that the framework will be just the size I need. The canvas is  strong cotton / polyester item that I tighten up on the framework. It gives a good, solid result, and my paintings remain straight. If there happens  twisting of the frame after you have bought a painting, I fix the error without discussion and additional cost.

Handmade Artist Colors

The colors are a story of their own. I do not use tube colors, but get pure pigments and linseed oil from a fantastic factory in Germany – Kremer. They have everything your heart desires of pigments: from raw earthy colors in all shades, to the most expensive red and blue colors that are powdered precious stones – such as ruby red – utterly fantastic.

They have historical pigments, synthetic, organic, etc., etc. so to buy the colors is a study of its own. It is these pigments I use both in oil paintings and in watercolours as well. It provides durability and glow, and utilization of the individual pigments structure that can not be attained through the  tube colors.

Once I brought earth home from the mountains of Andalusia. Beautiful colors of ocher, sienna and green, and that resulted in a fantastic structure of the painting.

Tecnique  

But no matter how good the materials I use, it could be a terrible mess, if I did not also mastered the technique. I have always prioritized that my technical skills are top notch and continuous improve.

Especially drawing is a critical point, where one can destroy an entire painting with an figure, that e.g. might be out of proportions. My drawing skills I have developed by making piles of sketches from dance videos paused in the desired moment.

These sketches I use in oil paintings and watercolors, and special abilities are challenged in watercolor, where there is no undo. At times I have painted several watercolors a day, which gives an incredible exercise.
