masking fluid disaster 2

I spent last weekend ruining my latest painting. I had a bad experience with a new type of masking fluid called "Molotow". The stuff comes in a pen and was super easy to apply and I was initially very pleased. You might be able to see the blue dots on the trees. They were supposed to eventually be highlights but the stupid stuff wont come off and now the painting is ruined with blue goo.
The packaging did warn not to leave it on for more than two days but I tried to remove it on the next day and it just smeared. I had a similar thing happen with regular masking fluid once before but in that instance I had left it on for over a week so that was my own fault. Last time I did eventually get the regular masking fluid off by putting the painting in the freezer, but this stuff seems to have partially soaked into the paper, I cant even scratch it off with the edge of my palate knife. I was really likening the colours on this piece too.
 Dam you Molotow.

Last Sunday sitting by the open window watching the grey rainy afternoon go by I finished this little painting "Clump". Its done with watercolour, pen and coloured pencil.

5 walks Hercynia silva

"Hercynia silva" doesn't that sound so poetic old and wonderful.
Last night I was searching for more info on the forest and came across this short film made by artists "Anna Abraham" and Jan Frederik Groot". This video is so close to perfect. To me it has the same feeling as my favourite black metal songs a kind of nostalgic longing mixed with dread. I cant explain it but I'm always chasing it.

Below is a little introduktion to the film taken from their website- 

"In the northern region is the vast expanse of the Hercynian forest, untouched by the ages and coeval with the world, which surpasses all marvels by its almost immortal destiny." (Pliny, ‘Natural History’ 23-79 AD)

"The horror and grandeur of the last remnants of Northern European primary forest conjure up a history of hunting, fleeing and meetings with magical creatures. The first part of a series of films on the cultural meaning of landscape."
