Last time I painted a dog he looked so sad I couldn't put him on a wall since my heart broke every time I saw him. So I did another one, this time peacefully sleeping. Always keep a happy #dachshund close to you! #art #traditionalart #acrylics #stunday #animalart #dogs #dogsky #davidhockney

Painting of a dachshund lying on a soft cushion. The dog is sleeping and painted in the style of David Hockney, which explains its reddish color.

With the plate coming out of the oven, my bluejay got its proper color scheme. I'm happy how it turned out! Especially the plumage is really nice to look at. #ceramics #ceramicart #pottery #diy #traditionalart #art #birdart #bird #animalart #bluejay

Painting of a blue bird on a plate. The plate is lying on a wooden table. The bird is resting on a twig.

I gave painting ceramics another try and went for this curious bird. As you can see it's still a bit pale. After the burning process the colors should be way more saturated. I'm excited to see how it'll look! #ceramics #ceramicart #pottery #diy #traditionalart #art #birdart #bird

Painting of a bird on a plate. The plate is sitting on a black table with brushes lying around. The bird has blue plumage and is sitting on a twig.

I once saw a group of alpine ibex when hiking through #switzerland. It looked like they were watching me from above while also not really caring. So in this painting I wanted them majestic but also like a force to be reckoned with. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #wildlifeart #animalart #ibex

Alpine ibex standing on a few rocks looking at the left side. Watercolor painting on paper.

Being a huge fan of David Hockney the paintings I like most are the portraits he did of his dogs. So I painted this lovable #dachshund in his typical style. He came out looking a bit sad though, doesn't he? Poor guy! 💜 #art #traditionalart #acrylics #stunday #davidhockney #animalart #dogs #dogsky

Painting of a dachshund in acrylic paint. The dog is lying on a yellow and blue blanket.

As a kid I spent a large amount of time with my grandma who had a huge sunflower in her garden. That was quite the sight especially since it took me years to outgrow it. I painted this one in #acrylics to get that bold appeal. #art #traditionalart #acrylicart #sunflower #bloomscrolling #flower

Painting of a sunflower in front of a dark background. The flower is leaning to the right.

I painted this view of Étretat as a gift for my mom. Since my dad died we've been traveling a lot. The famous cliffs were a destination of our first shared vacation. And I still paint them regularly since it's hard to forget beautiful #Normandy. #art #traditionalart #acrylics #landscape #stunday

Painting on a canvas which is leaning against a white wall. The painting shows chalk cliffs near a beach, which are forming an arch over the water.

I started painting with watercolor, which is still my go to medium. But what I love about #acrylics is how intense your colors can get. So last time I had my big brushes out, I went for some really dramatic roses. #art #traditionalart #acrylicart #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #purplefriday #rose

Painting of two roses with acrylic paints. One rose is slightly brighter than the other one.

Like many people who have seen highland cows, I love them for their fancy hairdo. They could totally form a rock band looking like this! And if they name it Mootallica, I would buy their merch forever. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #stunday #animalart #cow #highlandcow #wildlifeart

Watercolor painting of a highland cow. Their head is staring directly at the viewer. Because of their long fluffy hair, you can't see their eyes though.

Frederik@fredultramarine· Jul 3

I love how smooth watercolor is able to look. And there's no better way to use that than on some nice roses! I wanted it to seem like the flower is floating above the green. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #roses #aquarelle #aquarell #artsky #blueskyart

I've never painted a horse before, so this is Radish helping me out by posing for me. Isn't she great? She's got quite the life experience so even getting painted doesn't make her lose her cool. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #stunday #horseart #animalart #wildlifeart #artsky #blueskyart

Watercolor painting of a horse looking at the left side of the picture.

I showed my painting of Warnemünde lighthouse to a friend and they told me it looks like a cucumber. So I actually painted one. Or is it a lighthouse again? I can't say for sure anymore! 😄 #art #traditionalart #watercolor #Aquarell #aquarelle #cucumber #blueskyart #artsky

Painting of a cucumber in watercolor. There are cucumber slices in the foreground.

Last week british painter David Hockney died. He was a huge influence to me for being able to capture landscapes in all their magic. This is a tribute based on his works. May he be loved for generations to come. #art #traditionalart #gouache #landscape #nature #davidhockney #stunday #rip #uk

I feel like the warmer it gets the more intense everything looks. Light sparkles in front of your eyes and colors burst in all directions. Which also is really fun to paint! So here are two flowers enjoying the sun. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #flowers #nature

Watercolor painting of two yellow flowers in close up.

Many friends of mine have parakeets and they're just so adorable. When painting this little guy I really wanted him to be in harmony with nature, as if covered by it like a blanket. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #parakeet #budgie #parrot #bird #birdart #wildlifeart #animalart #stunday

Watercolor painting of a parakeet sitting on a branch in front of a green background. The parakeet is looking to the left.

Last week I wrote about Lilies being dramatic when opening up. But I felt like my painting didnt really reflect that. So I gave it another try and ended up here. This flower truly lives its life in the most epic way imaginable. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #flowers #floralfriday #bloomscrolling

Watercolor painting of a red lily in front of a blue background.

Frederik@fredultramarine· Jun 7

Once in a while I enjoy my landscapes more monochrome then usual. This time I went for this spooky house out of Tim Burtons "Beetlejuice". It's so satisfying to paint since every frame of his movies already feels like a painting. #watercolor #art #traditionalart #stunday #landscape #beetlejuice

Watercolor painting on paper. A house is standing next to trees on a hill. Everything is painted in blue colors.

Frederik@fredultramarine· Jun 5

One thing I love about lilies is how dramatic they open up. They're like actors putting up a great show once the spotlight hits them perfectly. Nothing wrong feeling like a lily once in a while! #art #traditionalart #watercolor #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #nature #lilies #flowers #aquarell

Watercolor painting of an orange lily in front of a blue background

I painted this female mallard #duck for a friend. Since it's going up on a wall, I imagined it should double as a piece of room decoration. In this spirit it became very colorful and vibrant, with visible strokes like a Van Gogh. #art #traditionalart #acrylics #birdart #animalart #stunday #sunset

Painting of a female mallard duck on canvas. It stands on a wooden table and is leaning against a wall. The duck is crafted with many colorful strokes and sits in front of a yellow background.

I spent some cozy days in Warnemünde and painted the famous Molenfeuer lighthouses. I started on location but couldn't finish it in one session. It was also quite windy. Still it was a wonderful reason to enjoy the shore. #art #traditionalart #pleinair #watercolor #landscape #lighthouse #rostock

Watercolor painting of two lighthouses on small land bridges. It's in a sketchbook lying on a table next to a watercolor palette and a wooden lighthouse.

I love early morning scenes with thick mist hanging over the ground. But it's difficult to paint less saturated greys when using #watercolor. So I went for strong colors while still trying to keep a moody vibe of a boat woken up by a misty morning. ⛵ #art #traditionalart #stunday #boat #aquarell

Watercolor painting of a boat. It's tied to something outside the frame of the painting.

Frederik@fredultramarine· May 22

My grandma had a lot of fancy vases for her flowers. I'm more of a person who puts them in bottles. Especially in paintings since they're really fun to do in watercolor. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #aquarell #bloomscrolling #floralfriday #flowersonfriday #flowers

Watercolor painting of flowers in two bottles. There is a long blue bottle in the back and a short brown bottle in the front.

I was raised on a small farm with chicken in the backyard. They're fun but also pretty noisy. Grandma always said: You dont need a guard dog, if you have chicken. So I painted this one getting up early to guard its garden. #art #traditionalart #gouache #nature #stunday #sunset #bird #birdart

Gouache painting of a chicken running around next to a tree. The background is painted in a sunlit yellow.

Since I paint a lot of former travel destinations, much of my art is central european. Sometimes I want to feel like visiting someplace else, so here is beautiful Panfilov Park in Almaty #kazakhstan. We share the world with so many great sites! #art #traditionalart #acrylics #landscape #nature

Painting in acrylics on paper. People are gathering in front of a yellowish cathedral. They're surrounded by trees and flowers.

I hope you have a beautiful day like these two birds! This scene is based on a water feature in Yvoires Garden Of Five Senses near Lake Geneva. Since I don't have a garden myself I love visiting them especially during holidays! #art #traditionalart #acrylics #stunday #birdart #nature #yvoire #birds

Acrylics painted on paper. Two birds are standing on a water feature in front of a lush green environment.

I always wanted to paint #gouache on a base layer of #watercolor, so I tried it out on a painting inspired by "The breaking of the ice near Vétheuil" by Monet. I always liked how he both captured the beauty and the harshness of nature. #art #traditionalart #landscape #impressionism #giverny #france

Gouache and watercolor painting on paper. A small town is seen in the distance. In front of it a huge floor of ice is breaking and creating reflections.

I've never painted a swan. Good for me that @knotweed-ireland.bsky.social provided a reference in one of their amazing photos. Doing a close up meant that I could create some details on their plumage which I really enjoyed. #traditionalart #art #watercolor #birdart #bird #wildlifeart #stunday

Watercolor painting of a swan on paper. The head of the swan is seen in front of a background depicting water.

With spring being finally here I'm seeing a lot of tulips around me. Always loved how elegant they are. To get their reddish pink petals just right I used gouache for this painting. #art #traditionalart #gouache #flowers #bloomscrolling #flowersonfriday #flowersonafriday #nature #tulips #blueskyart

Gouache painting of three pink tulips. Their growing out of a nest of greenish plants.

Frederik@fredultramarine· Apr 26

This painting started out with me wanting to capture the famous chalk cliffs of rügen island. But I also felt like going wild with colors. So I was not using my references that much to instead go for the most dramatic sunset I could imagine. #art #gouache #traditionalart #stunday #sunset #landscape

Gouache painting of a cliffside with trees on top. It's towering above a golden sea.

A few days ago I visited Leipzig for the first time. What a beautiful city! I had so much fun, I needed to paint the famous Barfußgässchen in the most colorful way possible: Fauvrism in the style of Maurice Vlaminck. #art #gouache #traditionalart #cityscape #fauvrism #leipzig #germany
