Hi, I'm not sure if you answered this already, but is it ok to ask what brushes you use for your gouache paintings? : D I'm struggling to find good quality brushes that work with gouache.

They're just normal watercolor-brushes. Round Winsor & Newton Cotmans if you want the specific one, but any mid-quality watercolor brushes will do just fine as long as they hold water decently.

How do you get that strong beautiful blue color like in your recent drawing, when working with gouache or watercolor? It’s such a struggle for me to produce such colors but they seem so lovely in your art

I struggled myself with finding a nice deep cold blue. Not to warm, not too purple. The one i like the most and the one i think you're pointing at is Winsor & Newton's Ultramarine, and the trick is to use it almost straight out of the tube. Maybe a brush-tip worth of white just to thicken it. The pigment will look dark when laying it down but once it dries it brightens and pops in a lovely way.

what are your thoughts on shrimp

Great animals. We share posture, me and them.

Hi! Can I ask where are you from? I get such scandinavian vibes from your art, it feels like home most of the time :)

Swede here, so you're right on the money!
