The Daily Muse: Leif Erik Johansen

elusivemuse — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 16:29:16 +0000

I began to draw at a young age; I taught myself while in math class and social studies. I was constantly drawing and I simply didn’t have much interest in any other subjects, with, perhaps the exception of the female human anatomy. Although I wasn’t interested in a formal art education I did entertain the idea for a couple of years before dropping out to travel the world (China, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, New Zealand, Australia etc..) and explore my own methods of self-education.

Egon Schiele: Austrian Expressionist (1890-1918)

elusivemuse — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 23:27:59 +0000

I recently discovered the amazing figurative artist Egon Schiele. As some of you know, I am presently taking a year long online portrait painting workshop. This year we are studying masters from different art periods to learn more about their techniques and then trying to make them a part of our own work. Although we are presently studying Renaissance painters, of course I had to look ahead to discover what we will be doing in the future. That is how I discovered Egon Schiele. Although we will not be studying his work until late 2018, I felt compelled to share his work here. I find his style to be inspiring.

elusivemuse — Tue, 23 May 2017 11:56:16 +0000

In so many conversations we have with other artists, the statement “I wish I could feel more loose when I paint” has come up rather frequently. Kim and I have said this to each other numerous times. When the subject of painting loose comes up, the first artist that always comes to mind is Robert Joyner.

elusivemuse — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 08:13:35 +0000

Kim and I participate in a monthly mail art group. Each month we send and receive an original postcard to/from a member of the group. I had so much fun creating this for Jacki Long, that I decided to take this piece a step further and turn it into a digital illustration. Below is an outline of my process. The first step of course was sketching the cassette.
