on his way to mail his letter, charlie the rabbit nearly trod on a little home half covered in snow. he paused for a while to watch the smoke slowly spiral from the chimney and enjoy the smell of fresh cookies which were surely baking in the little oven

advent challenge day two: a letter to santa
.
I recorded a whole patreon video of a different painting I was going to use for this prompt and then decided it was not so great. which seems to happen every time I record myself drawing. so I’ve made the video about that! i make so much junk before a good thing appears and often the drawings I’m most happy with come out of nowhere, really fast, when I’ve given up and decided to take a break. it’s easy to forget here on instagram that so much work, frustration, fails, and breakthroughs happen behind even the simplest painting. see beyond the feed and hear more on patreon!
.
shout out to sweet @erinaconnally, an atmosphere master, for helping me nail down the moody vibe I was going for! yay for coworking days!

advent challenge day one!
.
Last year I got so busy during this challenge that I was never able to paint all the sketches o had planned, so I’m going to make up for it this year by revisiting them all again. I’m only going to be following the prompts super loosely but that’s the beauty of these drawing challenges - you can interpret the prompts however you want!
.
Also sort of doubling as a #childhoodweek2019 drawing since it features some creatures!
.
Ps you can join me on patreon to see how these paintings were made and join my own little December patreon drawing challenge!

„O Falalda, da du hangest“
„O du Jungfer Königin, da du gangest,
Wenn das deine Mutter wüßte
ihr Herz tät ihr zerspringen."
.
I can literally still hear my Oma reciting those lines from the Grimm fairytale “die Gänsemagd” or “the Goosegirl”. It was my most favorite tale and I made her read it over and over again when I was little. Mostly because I loved Falalda, the talking horse, who’s severed head was mounted on the castle entrance. It’s such a sad and atmospheric tale. I’m going back to Day 2 of folktale week, because the prompt “secret” was too good to miss. This tale circles around a secret so big, it’s almost a character

Darkness. Folktale week number 5.
.
Yep, this is based on beauty and the beast. But it’s the... scary version? I just started out with a black square in my sketchbook, because darkness, and this is what happened. I’m learning a lot this week really pushing myself and getting over the “I’m an imposter” phase of trying new things and getting to the “I’m so excited” phase. Finally. It’s an emotional rollercoaster every time, why do I keep doing this to myself the second I feel like I’ve figured out how to draw...
.
Also I just happen to be talking about the very thing in the most recent @lorelumin podcast. I have a very personal definition of what darkness means, and I attempt to put it into words. Check it out on their page
.
ALSO! there’s so much going on on my new patreon page so if you’re interested in hearing me BLAB even more about art, the universe, and everything, join us there! Patreon.com/vvberger

back to folktale week: smoke
.
this is based on the grimms fairy tale the twelve brothers. it’s a bit too long to post here but a wonderful, weird, and surprisingly violent (can you say being executed by boiling oil and poisonous snakes?! not to mention being burned at the stake) folktale read.
.
still trying to work out some new things. I sort of gave up on the wonderful pan pastels for a whole year and now I’m slowly trying to incorporate their wonderful atmospheric quality back into my work. it’ll probably be a while until I get it right but I’m determined. another stepping stone drawing as it were.
