Franziska Schwade

I'm an abstract painter based in Bremen, Germany. My work is a caleidoscope of inspiration, ideas and impressions and is known for its vibrant colors, contrasts, calligraphic movement and the play between texture and transparency.
And best of all, you can commission me to paint YOUR inspiration. Let's work together! :)

  • Monthly reflection // First studio day in December and I'm going over the work I did last month. It's always so counter-intuitive for me to work in a series. Not regarding the themes of a series or the idea behind it. It's hard for me to paint consistently because I get bored so quickly by my own marks. ⁠ ⁠ I know it's helpful to push through those weeks and just continue, but when I'm in it I feel so unsure about everything I do. And then some happy accidents happen that bring new life to the series and everything seems to be great again.⁠ ⁠ As an artist it's good to acknowledge that the people who look at your work have not seen it all already, have not looked at your current work for weeks on end. They are usually surprised by it and (at the very least) appreciate a different viewpoint than their own. ⁠ Just continue. Just do you!⁠ ⁠ ❓Anything you guys have been struggling with in the past month?⁠
  • Wrapped up the last studio day of the month because I'm traveling to Essen tomorrow. I've been working nearly every day in November, so I'm happy to have two days off.⁠ ⁠ I hope all my friends from the US have a happy holiday as well. 🙂 Let the turkeys survive 🦃🦃🦃🦃❤️! ⁠ See you guys on Monday!⁠ 🥰
  • "The world's big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark." (John Muir)⁠ ⁠ Happy Wednesday to you all! 😘⁠
  • I'm quite uninspired this week. I only feel like drawing comics (just read Lynda Barry's awesome new book 'Making Comics') and hanging out and reading. ⁠ ⁠ Is it just because of the dark fall weather? Who knows. I always feel like the day never really starts if it's constantly dark gray outside.⁠ ⁠ I hope you guys have a more energized week! Here's a bit of color to wake you up. 😊⁠ ____________⁠ 'SURGE', 30x40cm, acrylics on watercolor paper. Available for purchase after the 'Marginalized' series is finished.⁠
  • I've noticed that for over a year now I've only used one type of brush: flat wide brushes that are kinda cheap and scratchy. ⁠ ⁠ I love that they have just enough flexibility to make precise outlines, but not enough to take away the texture of the bristles in the paint strokes.⁠ ⁠ The only other tools I use at the moment are a spray bottle when working on large canvases and tons of tissue paper to smear around paint or catch water & paint drips. ⁠ ⁠ It's great to keep your overhead low when you are self employed. Deciding which tools you really need is also a great way to keep the mess in the studio as small as possible.⁠ ⁠ If you are an artist, what's a tool you can't live without?⁠
  • "Trusting yourself means living out what you already know to be true." (Cheryl Strayed - Tiny Beautiful Things)⁠ ⁠ Wishing you guys a beautiful weekend! 😚⁠
