Took my new old camera to Africa

I feel like I am the queen of click bait right now because I didn't even go to Africa, I am SO sorry. There is this place near me that reminds me a lot of Africa, even though not any of us has been to Africa. I mean, photoshop a giraffe on the background and there you go. So believable. On the other hand I did get a 'new' camera, a Olympus OM10. Yes, an analog camera. I kind of ruined my first film (sadly), but the second one makes it more than alright and so let me show you why.

GIVEAWAY!

I HIT A TWO THOUSAND SUBSCIRBERS ON YOUTUBE, AAH! If you don't know, YouTube became quite a thing for me. I wish I could spend more time on it, but I am spending as much time possible on making video's. They take a lot of time, but I'm trying! And somehow I did something right because I hit two thousand subscribers! To thank everyone, I decided to do a little giveaway which everyone (worldwide) can join!

A lil' shiny beetle

Recently I did a great discovery called 'gouache'. It sounds really fancy, but it's the paint most of us children used to paint with. It's no acrylic but no watercolour as well, but I'd say it's a baby of those two. It's a bit tricky at first, but now that I've got the hang of it I can't stop. And to make it even better, I found gold and silver paints that I am basically obsessed with. So today I painted this lil' shiny cool guy.

A painting for my boyfriend

From drawing as tiny as possible to a painting that barely fit into my room. Joke, it's not that massive-  but for me it kind of felt like it. Oil painting is still very new to me, secretly I've got no clue of what I am doing. And painting this big with the urge to get it as perfect as possible was kind of a challenge I have to admit. But, I did it! 

Oooooh honey..

For some reason rain really calms me down and autumn makes me the most happy person alive- while for loads of people it is the other way around, not for me though! The whole summer I've barely made any art work which is such a shame. But now autumn's visiting again, my whole drawing mood decided to come with it, yay! 

A heart like yours

Alright, hi. My name is Kim and I fell in love with oil painting. I turned two of my favourite drawings into paintings- and even though these two were like my first proper attempt using oils, I'm so happy with how they turned out. I even made a youtube video about the whole progress. Woah!

If you like my art part 2

About a year ago I opened my own little art store on Etsy selling prints of my art work. I haven't been maintaining it as I should be- such a shame, I know.. But recently I added loads of new stuff and to celebrate I added a coupon giving you free shipping!
