Minna Sundberg

Minna Sundberg is a Danish comics artist and illustrator with a lively, visually charming style.

In the illustrations featured in her DeviantART portfolio and the portfolio of her work on Character Design Reverences, I find a fascinating tendency to work with strategically limited palettes.

Sundberg is the author and artist of a number of webcomics. Several are complete, including Stand Still Stay Silent, A Redtail’s Dream, Lovely People and A Meandering Line.

As of this writing, she has one in progress Journey Upstream. The latter two are Christian themed.

How The World’s Most Expensive Colors Are Made

This YouYube video from Business Insider goes into the history and making of several of the most expensive artist pigments and materials.

I found the first 10 minutes particularly of interest for going into greater depth than usual in describing the mining and refinement of Lapis Lazuli, the semi-precious stone used to make the original Ultramarine Blue – a pigment more expensive by weight than gold (as opposed to the inexpensive synthetic French Ultramarine Blue that we commonly use today).

Eye Candy for Today: Christian Molsted canal scene

The Canal at Holmes Bridge, Christian Mlested, oi on canvas, roughly 38 x 34 inches ( 96 x 87 cm).

Image is sourced from Wikipedia. This painting was auctioned in 2011; I assume it’s currently in a private collection.

Danish painter Christian Molsted, who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, gives us a view of a canal and bridge in horizontal light, with a strong sense of depth. Deep shadows in the foreground make the sunlit buildings, bright sky and reflections in the water look even brigter, and lead us back into the painting.

I particularly like the range...
