This isn’t the video of the TV team yet, but shows me at the easel in Austria/Wildkogel. With the help of my sketches, my plein air studies and a foto I show one possibilty how to turn this into a pastell painting.

I don’t know about you guys, but once in a while the computer is a real mystery to me and doesn’t work the way I want to. The other day I accidentaly wiped some emails and they were gone. (Of course, before I read them).
So here is a video by the english comedien Eddie Izzard on computers. Very funny, especially in the end. Watch, enjoy and laugh.

This week I just didn’t make it to paint outside, even though the weather was great. Not far away from where we live, there is this beautiful mixed forest. This is a plein air painting from last year.

2010, © Marc VolquardsenToday, we had a visit from a TV team, who produces short video clips about artists for one of our big art supply stores in Germany. I was filmed at work, interviewed and they will put it all together to a nice and short film. Best of all, we will make it possible to the english viewers to follow. You just have to be a bit patient…

8th, October 2010 - 08:19 PM
I’m back home and much faster back to daily buisiness than I like. Looking back I can see why it were special days. First of all, when you take the cable car up the mountain, your everyday life stays down in the valley and it doesn’t take long till you feel comfy up there. The title of the workshop »Landscape in the light« was promptly delivered by the weather. It is indescribable to see the sunrise and the others must have felt the same, because nearly everyone rose at 6 a.m to be there.The only thing that bothered me a bit is that naturally, as the workshop instructur, I didn’t find as much time to paint as I would have liked.
