Street art – London by Nathan Bowen
Inspired by the website The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies, I went down memory lane and found some of my own books and magazines from the early days…
When I used to paint I used acrylic paint and brush or water color and pencils. I use photos as reference and like to be as realistic as possible and sometimes exaggerate details.
On Moderskeppets blogg I just red about Bert Monroy who take it to the extreme using Photoshop and Illustrator to make Hyper Realistic Art. Bert also share his knowledge on Revision 3.com.
His latest project is a “painting” of Times Square, NYC.
Finally the collection of my acrylic paintings is on line.
Most of the paintings are made from photos from our round the world trip 1989-1990. A few are made as orders. For instance a friend or customer showed me an image and asked if I could paint that on canvas or hardboard.
The genre could be called realism. I thought it was called magic realism but I learned that that genre refers to realistic paintings with one or more magic details in the picture.
After a few years in the basement collecting dust, some of them has been moved up to a wall in the living room.
This theme Panorama make it possible to change the images in the top of the page in an easy way.
I found a number of photos in our photo library and after some Photoshop treatment I uploaded them. They are displayed in a random order.
Back in the 80’s, I had a little studio in a basement in the small Swedish town Falkenberg. The studio that was called Noggin*, had a silk printing set where I printed T-shirts and sweatshirts. There was also a large drafts table where I draw print designs and did some airbrush paintings.
For a couple of years I created a christmas card that I sent to customers and friends. In -87 I made some postcards that Vibe and I brought with us (togehter with a ski box full of sweatshirts) to the Three Vallées in France, where we spent a skiseason. We sold the sweatshirts and postcards at the After Ski pubs – good times. 🙂
On the original size painting of this post card, the tools are in scale 1:1…

*Noggin means head and Noggin the Nog was the name of a British childrens character – a viking. I got Noggin as nickname from some english friends I had back in the 80’s. The pacifier was a kind of “logo” I used…
These paintings was made by watercolor and pencil with inspiration from photos taken during our round the world trip between 1989-19991.
These acryllic paintings were painted in the end 90’s and made from photos taken on our round the world tour 1989-1991.
The genre could be called Realism where I “copy” a photo on to the canvas/board and then paint as is and sometimes exaggerate the colours. The advantage with acrylic compared to oil – it doesn’t smell, it can be diluted with water (clean the brushes in water), it dries quickly and it is water resistant when dry. If you think it dries too quickly there are paste, gel and other media to mix in the colour to make it dry slower.
