I'm T.Wadbro, an artist from Skåne, Sweden.
Mostly, my works feature young men with captivating, yearning eyes, filled to the brim with emotions
and stories that they wish to accentuate to the viewers.
I believe they are all somewhat of an inner reflection of myself, that every person I create is a piece of me.

WIP - One with the Woods

Art school has started with four weeks of painting classes. Two weeks have passed.
Image in the post below was my warm-up for this big guy here:




Inspired by my Crying Boy of the Woods, I wanted to make a "mature" take on a similar setting. As you can see, he's not finished yet though... His horns will sort of blend in with the forest, but hopefully be distinct enough to still be seen as horns.
Using watercolors, as I really dislike the sticky thickness of acrylics and oils. However I did make two acrylic paintings during these two weeks, one which I didn't like at all and didn't finish. Of course that's the teachers' favorite. =__= Well, fuck that, I'll continue working on this one.

  5. this is wonderful and i love how the horns are kin with the woods, and certainly it is obvious they are his horns. have you ever added a glazing medium to acrylics? it keeps them from drying as fast (on the palette) and makes them more translucent. You might enjoy that.

  7. Yeah I agree about not caring what the teacher thinks. Do what feels right to you. Love this so far--I'm a big fan of antlers on people, and I like how in yours they kind of blend into the background.

    Here's a pic involving antlers I did a couple of months ago. http://mystylecanvas.blogspot.com/2011/11/work-in-progress-three-witches-of.html

  12. DO you use any medium with your acrylics? I love the extender, retardant, and other medium to make the paint softer and easier to mix. Also, maybe you can try the fluid acrylic, they have no body, no thickness, very liquid.
    I like your WIP, I hope you post more of it as you work on it!
