Drawing live for UiB Alumni Christmas concert

Live drawing at a Christmas concert

In 2018 I joined up with pianist Martin Vinje to draw some Christmas mood live.

Live drawing at a Christmas concert


Martin and band lined up smooth Christmas melodies, and I installed myself at a makeshift desk, and was filmed top down drawing out a pair of skiing snowmen. (Me there in the corner by the arched window.) The concert lasted approx. 45 min, so I could draw from scratch with pencil, then ink, and finally play around with watercolour and glitter paint for some added sparkle.

I had planned out the sketch beforehand in my sketchbook, both so that it would fit a 16:9 screening, and later to fit a passepartout for framing. The illustration was gifted to a lucky member of the audience through a lottery.

I have the illustration as a postcard in my gallery at Bryggen, and in my web shop.

This is a new website, so I’m still working on all the entries about my work. 20 years of books and illustrations take time, so bear with me 😉
