Very nice. My favourite is the cacoxenite, especially the broken hemisphere. Very well rendered.
Regards
Steve

16x20" is a pretty good size for a mineral illustration. I know it would take me a long time!
Regards,

| Hallo, thank you for your message. I remember, that I was painting for about 8 hours, till the painting was done. If someone is interested, I can post some more paintings tomorrow.

Feel free to keep posting. It's interesting to see the variety of styles in mineral illustration.

again some more paintings from 2012.
Dear artists,
I had an idea: we all should paint the same mineral. Then the paintings are shown together. I would like to read your opinions. Of course everyone is free, so you can say yes or no. I think it would be wonderful to see the different facets of this mineral through artists eyes. Each painting is one facet, like a puzzle. Put together you see the mineral in full size.

Great paintings! I assume the minerals are micromounts. They are difficult to do, especially is you are looking through a microscope and then trying to capture by painting what you just saw. It's a great strain on the eyes and I commend your efforts -.

| Thanks for answering. I'm not working with a microscope. I use a good photo (most are taken of the Mineralienatlas, there are very good ones) and put it large on my screen. My easel stands right beside and I paint with some light on the canvas. Sometimes I am painting "Stillleben" (fruits on plates for example) or flowers. Most of these paintings are done without using a photo. But for landscapes I often use photos, because the sun is more quickly, than I can paint (oil on canvas takes a little longer than watercolours).
