30 day drawing challenge - day 11 to day 25

As last weeks days have been very busy, I wasn´t able to post my Munich Artists 30 day drawing challenge every day.

So here come the drawings from day 11 to today, day 25.

Day 11: draw a place you want to visit

I want to see the view from outside one day.

Day 14: draw a comic strip

The words are "Come here now immediately! No". If you have children of a certain age, you know these words well.

Day 15: draw a new fairy tale heroine/hero

The common people are underestimated no more.

The powerful family of currencies.

Illustration Series 'Hausberge'

My recent illustration series named 'Hausberge' is finished.

Hausberg is the German word for a local mountain.

In December 2014 I moved to the countryside south of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a beautiful scenery here, close to the place where Barack Obama recently had a Bavarian breakfast during the G7 Summit 2015.

In the last six months I have been eagerly breathing the beauty of the mountains, absorbing nature during the change of seasons and drawing my way through the small villages, viewpoints and sites of this area to explore my new home.

By now the results of this effort is a series of 10 beautiful motives of Upper Bavarians nature, culture and distinctive views.

All motives have been illustrated four times. In addition of the four original illustrations, all motives are available as a set of postcards in a limited edition of 500.

You can buy all works as originals or postcard set on my booth with the number 82 on the #Kräuterzauber festival in #BadHeilbrunn on Saturday, 20th June 10:00 am to 20:00 pm.

New painting finished

'Scotland', mixed media on canvas, 140 x 175 cm, Rainer Schmitten 2015

A friend asked me to do a painting for him after having seen one of my abstracts in the studio.

The result is my very personal view on the story of his life since I know him.

Going back to where he comes from, the colors and structures are inspired by the UK's coastline, his way to Germany - caused by love, a broken and a evolving relationship, resulting in the birth of new life.
