Sketches at night

Two watercolor-sketches from last night to keep me awake. On the pages of my sketchbook I feel more free to experiment than on the big sheet. I hope that I can break down this wall in my head one day completely. But it seems that my respect of the empty watercolor sheet is still too big. I think I have to work on this a little bit more, although I have the feeling that it is getting better already.

Zwei Aquarellskizzen aus der letzten Nacht, die ich gemalt habe, um mich wach zu halten. Auf den Seiten meines Skizzenbuchs fühle ich mich immer noch etwas freier zu experimentieren als auf dem großen Blatt Papier. Ich hoffe, dass ich diese Mauer in meinem Kopf eines Tages komplett einreißen kann. Aber es scheint mir manchmal, als sei meine Ehrfurcht vor dem großen Blatt Aquarellpapier immer noch zu groß. Ich muss wohl noch etwas daran arbeiten, auch wenn ich das Gefühl habe, dass es langsam besser wird.

  1. Oh… yes ! and you have put it in words:
    ” I feel more free to experiment (in the sketchbook) than on the big sheet. I hope that I can break down this wall in my head one day completely. But it seems that my respect of the empty watercolor sheet is still too big.”
    -That’s it! i wonder if i could get up the courage to wash off the big sheets when they go bad or maybe gesso over and try again. But its hard to throw away a painting even if it isn’t any good.
