People, places, and or things.
Drawings from coffee shops, airports and jail. No I'm kidding, none of these are from coffee shops. All were drawn with a pencil , and painted with watercolors. Except those without color. They were painted with clear color.
The middle girl and the guy on the left were from an airline magazine. The rest are real people eye saw with my own 2 eyes and 9 fingers.
I drew these with my right hand. Whats left of it.

Self Portrait #1
This is what I look like made out of oil
After I'm done with a painting I scrape all the leftover colors that I have mixed into little puddles of warm and cool greys. I also wipe my brushes off on a blank canvas. When I started this painting I had a couple of weeks worth of these spare colors, and a very interesting and dark canvas. In a way this portrait is an amalgamate of my paintings. All the experiance from the other paintings went into this portrait by using those colors. A kinda alternative way to symbolize oneself by means of color, instead of objects.

Sven Portrait
In Sweden on your last day of work you get.....a portrait.
Well I'm happy with some of the colors. I tried to use as much color theory as I could. There's a few things I'd like to fix but its gone now. Thats what you get for doing something the day its due. No time to make changes.
