ABOUT ME
Drawing, painting and many other creative activities are among my favorite pastimes. When I sit down and put something on paper, I lose track of time. I am mainly inspired by nature. I love animals (especially my cats Louis and Apollo, of course) and plants fascinate me incredibly.
Like many of us, I loved painting as a child. As a teenager, I then had another creative phase. In the summer of 2019 I finally invested in a good watercolor set and opened my Instagram account @svenj_creates. Since then I have been busy practicing and creating.
I am currently enrolled in the New Master Academy, an online art school, to hone my skills with professional help.
Even if the process is most important to me, I am always happy when I can see a nice end result. So I hope that I can make you happy with my drawings, watercolors and other works of art.
