Happy start of the new academic year! This new academic year also brings a new Designer of the Month, and we hope you’re excited to read more about it below. Elisa loves to experiment with painting with watercolours, and that can definitely be seen back into her artworks! 

“Hi! I am Elisa (@elisasfunartz) and I love painting with watercolours / aquarel in my free time. I really like that you have to make a plan for the layers, but at the same time you can kind of adjust the plan along the way, which in my case always creates interesting paintings. For this post I’m showing you 2 paintings 🙂

The first painting I made for my sister’s 18th birthday this month. It is ‘De Waalbrug’ in Nijmegen, the city where we come from. Every window of the painting is another time in the day, where my sister is spending time with me or her friends at the bridge. I made it for her because she is moving to Groningen, so she still had something in her room to remind her of Nijmegen. 

The second painting(s) I made in a little while ago during COVID. They represent how you only know little pieces about people, you almost never know the whole picture. The paintings at the same time also shows the lockdowns, where everyone had to be in their own bubble.“
