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! :)

  • It's time for the holidays! I hope you guys who celebrate (or go along for the ride like we do 😁) have a fun time and can relax a bit. Don't fret over presents. Enjoy the times you have with your loved ones. ❤️
  • Daaamn. 👀 I just noticed how much my String of Bananas and Pothos N'joy have grown in only 4 months (August - December). Swipe to see the difference 😲 Maybe they haven't noticed that it's winter already?⁠ 😄 ⁠ Do you guys have a favorite houseplant? ❤️⁠
  • Happy Wednesday ❤️⁠ Who here is ready for the holidays? Two weeks left and I'm finally getting into the Christmas mood - can't wait to get home and eat all day for a week straight. 😏⁠ ____________⁠ 'ELECTRIFY', 30x40cm, acrylics on watercolor paper. Available for purchase after series is finished.⁠
  • "You are free, because everyone is too busy fussing over themselves to worry all that much about you." - Elizabeth Gilbert⁠ Happy Monday ❤️ 📷 from my summer holidays this year 😍⁠
  • What to do when you are stuck and have no idea with which paint colors to continue next? ⁠ ⁠ I usually like to follow my gut, or think about attributes I want (darker/lighter, more saturated/less saturated, etc.). Sometimes those colors can still look weird on a painting, which I also like because it makes the work more unique and you are not always using the same colors over and over again. It's still possible to fix 'wrong' colors later by adding even more similarly 'wrong' colors to make it more cohesive.⁠ ⁠ But a great way to find a color that really fits is to make swatches from all your paints and most color mixes! I put them directly on the painting to see which ones would make the greatest impact.⁠ ⁠ Swipe to see how I label them on the back. I try to put in all of the characteristics of the paint as well, like opacity and lightfastness. So even if I run out of that color, I may rediscover the swatch and want to repurchase it for a certain project. ⁠ For certain mixes it's especially helpful. For example: I own a huge number of orange, red & violet paints. To see which one of them I used for a specific color mixing is a lifesaver.⁠ ❔How do you guys use paint swatches?
  • 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?⁠
