Hi,
it has been a while since I updated my Blog.
A few weeks ago I got my eye surgery and soon I should be able to work again normaly (right now, only close vision is ok).
Anyway, as you can see I am addicted to boat-drawings. I have a lot of fun drawing those contrasts beetwen large shapes and small details, shadows playing around, mirror reflexion in the water, the pier and its world of organised and repetitive shapes.
Here in Oslo we also have the chance to have some sailing- boats with complex ropes organisation...probably my next target.
I hope you will like them.
Guillaume.

OLDIES 2
Hi,
In 2000-2001, my wife and I made a trip to malaysia. We spent six weeks there, sketching almost everyday, traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Penang island, Langkawi island, Cameron highland, Fraser hill and Malacca.
We met wonderfull people there, having the honor to be invited to a malaysian wedding. A family invited us as well to share their night diner to celebrate the end of the "ramadan".
The beauty of the country and his people are always in our mind and we hope one day to go back there.
The sketches that I show you here are gouaches painted over a black ink first statement.

New Ink wash
Hi,
I had a great pleasure recently to discover this boat, between Oslo center and Bygdoy. This first drawing was a good apetizer and I expected to come back to put on paper some other point of view... Unfortunatly the boat left recently.
"Pas de chance!!"
Anyway, I added some others ink washes done a fews weeks ago before I got this technical problem with my eyes....A damned cataract!!!!! That mean a slow production for the next month until I will have my surgery.
But I will take this oportunity to show you some old works from a few trips I have done.

SKETCHCRAWL AND MORE
Hi,
Last month, I had the pleasure to join the Scketchcrawl Oslo group at Vigeland Park.
I had a lot of fun and it was a great experience. We were around fifteen artists from Norway, Sweden, Usa, India and France.
Gustav Vigeland was an artist who created 212 sculptures for this park. He started to work on it in 1924 and in 1950 , seven years after his death most of sculptures were placed.
The three first skecthes I show you were done at Vigeland Park.
The two last were done the week after and I enjoyed a lot to work again with ink wash. This is definitely my favorite medium for sketch.

Bygdøy
Hi,
Bygdøy is a peninsula, located in the city of Oslo. Most of the surface is covered by forest and field.
This is the second sketch about the beaches you can find there. They are quite small but really charming and it´s only 15 minutes walk from the part of the city I´m living in.
But Bygdøy is also a cultural place with a few interesting museums.
I will talk about this later when I will have the pleasure to introduce you the place by some of my sketches.
So, stay in touch,
Guillaume.

THE NORWAY AND OSLO
Hi everyone,
Two months now since I left Madrid and Spain.
After a few days in France I finally ended my trip in Norway. I started my new life here in Oslo, working now for a games company, discovering a new culture and a wonderfull country.
As usually, the first month was focused in installation and "administrative paper quest".
Now, We are, my wife and me correctly installed. Anyway, I didn´t forget my blog and I was doing from time to time a sketch. I know some of you guys were waiting for an update since a few weeks and I would like to thank you for your patience and fidelity.
I hope you will like those drawings, done from middle april to middle of may.

ANOTHER LOST WORLD
Hi everyone,
I´ve been really busy the few last month but I finally finished this illustration, using photographies (several part of castles, two mountains on the left and one on the right plus some textures effects), cuting and streching, painting a lot on this mixture to get something and a lot of "undo action".
Hope you will like it!

TERRAFORMING4
Hi,
A new concept illustration on "TERRAFORMING" subject. Another one with this "reformated canyon".
This time, the place is more dirty, people are still working and it doesn´t look like an entertainment park. Even the air seems a bit polluted.
The people in the background are working there but you don´t really see what they are supposed to do. And yet, their technology doesn´t look high-tech for this huge work!
I would like to keep this enigmatic environment as mysterious as possible.
I hope this drawing will start to work on your imagination.
