    The neat thing about this painting is that if you look at each place and its color pallette and mood, it actually changes your painting (which I believe was the point of this). The first place had this golden sunset and amber vibe and then as you transitioned to each place, that cabins mood and color were added to the painting. Creating a sort of collage effect.

  • @MikeWallibo
    @MikeWallibo 23 години тому +13

    That might be my favorite painting she's ever done too. I had my doubts though, when she pitched the idea in the beginning. I mean, she's done this kind of painting with dragons over and over, and I thought it'd just be the same. Don't get me wrong, that's good! But the aesthetic of this particular painting seemed to be influenced by each environment she was in in each cabin. It started with a bunch of warm colors and gradually got more winterized. That layering and changing as she went along really added depth to the entire piece. Amazing work.

  • @SilentShadow-rj5nx
    @SilentShadow-rj5nx 21 годину тому +1

    It's unusual to find a Sea Serpent that far inland. The painting really captured the essence of the Dragon (for those not familiar with dragon lore, some species of dragon lay their eggs in the sea, where they grow into sea serpents. After a time, they build a coccoon and transform into winged dragons.)
    It is possible that the creature depicted is not, in fact, a dragon; it could quite possibly be a rare creature from the roots of the mountain, similar to the mythical Balrog. Or it could be a large ground worm. No one but The Maker knows this creature's origin.
    Thank you, for sharing this beautiful look into another world.

    Ah Martina, I love that for the last 5 years or so, your mind has translated "I want to paint" into "I need to put myself through hell to accomplish my goal" you don't make a compelling case for taking up art! 😅

      PS. I will never get over how beautiful Norway is. I'll give you a new challenge. Teach a fat Scotsman with no visual imagination how to paint in ten days, as long as it's me, and I get to spend some time in Norway after.

  • @sammleft

    Every time you post a video of you traveling around Norway I realize how beautiful this country must be. It's so different from what I'm used to here in southern Europe. Btw the painting is amazing as always!

    Props to Hansi for great imagery of the correct way to welcome the Norse dark season in addition to Martina excelling at "dass" reviewing (yes we use the correct term among friends) while painting us all into the spooky season

  • @psychocomplex
    @psychocomplex День тому +6

    I love how each location influenced the painting (even the weather) the creative process is so cool. Apparently, I need go outside and touch grass to do art in nature. (Tbh you should've done a coffee star rating)

  • @ourabouras
    @ourabouras 21 годину тому

    Hey Martina, I am always so impressed with these massive art projects you come up with. I was a little disappointed at first that you weren’t incorporating aspects from each location into the painting, but then you explained that this is part of a larger project, so I get it. Personally locations 4 and 5 felt the most inspirational (for me) I would die to spend a week in a treehouse overlooking a lake and drawing.

  • @tanyawhite3215
    @tanyawhite3215 21 годину тому

    I love that even though Norway is much, much smaller than Australia in area, you still have great distances to travel! We also think nothing of driving for 6+ hours to get somewhere we really want to go! AMAZING painting as always Martina and props to Hansi for some truly gorgeous photography. ❤

    HOLY COW! the improvement is actually blowing my mind, I LOVE how it's so different from your other paintings but still has that signature Martina flair! The details in the foreground brought the whole thing home, I think this might be the most master of masterpieces! And I'm calling it now, the secret project has gotta be an art book!

    @timisme8360 22 години тому

    I'm only 5 minutes into the video and just at your first rating but I'm impressed ... as usual. I can't wait to see the finished piece!
    You should do this again in the future but add elements from each site into the painting itself. A little bit of the landscape, a cabin, sky vista, wildlife, lake, and let's not forget marsh (so you can make that delicious marsh coffee lol) Maybe have you and Hansi as the heroes, facing down an enemy (dragon, wizard king, evil giant) Really incorporate the both of you and the sites into the story. I can actually picture it. You, surrounded by a blue and pink aura, magical staff in hand. Hansi, with a pure silvery white ball of energy glowing around him, glowing sword in hand.

    Gives me a kick watching your offgrid painting videos, I live offgrid in a cabin in the mountains, we (my family and I) run our own power with solar panels and a generator. We used to not have wifi but we do now after saving up a bit and slowly upgrading our set up. The nearest town for groceries is a hour drive away. It's just kinda funny watching a city girl live the offgrid life when it's just everyday life for us. Also as always your skills are amazing keep up the beautiful work! Your a huge inspiration for me ❤

  • @ShintarufromdA
    @ShintarufromdA 21 годину тому

    Love these types of videos where you put what is in your imagination onto canvas. Seeing the process as you change and develop your painting as you go adding and removing bits till you achieve the final piece which was awesome. I liked cabin number 2 as well but to be fair they all had their own charm

  • @szabib8048
    @szabib8048 23 години тому

    Really nice job! From the initial sketches and the autumn theme I thought you will be making an "autumn fight scene", in which the hero is fighting a bunch of autumn colored leaves blown up into the air in the shape of vaguely resembling a dragon/serpent creature, the leaves themselves working as scales ... But I'm not complaining! It went into an entirely different direction and the end result is just as nice, if not better.
    Yay for off-grid cabins! (I'm still gonna stay at home. Much less hassle.)

  • @Knoedel4872

    Great way to get a 2 week vacation out of your job. I thought you were going to do a separate painting for each location. Also, I thought you might paint the cabins rather than the landscape. Definitely the most interesting travelogue video I've ever seen. This makes me realize that renting a cabin would be a better vacation than the usual hotel in town or BnB thing.

    Cabins in Norway are like places with no reservations, no bnb etc., just places where You can hang out when You are on a track, going somewhere and You must have a stop?
    This is like below the grade of mountain shelters in poland, without anyone looking at them?
    Great cabins then, I think I need to go somewhere into mountains to check how it looks like. Maybe in the spring more than winter...

    It looks like Nidhogg the Serpent. He's taunting the warrior to fight him by yelling "Come at me or are you chicken bro!". The Warrior yells back "You called me Chicken! By law we must battle!"

    As always, it's an incredible and entertaining video. You guys have convinced me to visit Norway for my next holiday break.

    I love how the American dream of a cabin on a mountain lake (I know this is more likely a fjord) is 2 out of 5 stars with Marina. Having just visited Norway, I get it, that is mid there; but still shocking.
