Jenova is back...

A small note for all my imaginary friends.

Following a long leave of absence, Danish paintmeister Jenova is back online and painting. Great news, great indeed. Jenova runs now the old website, a blog, and a twitter account. The old website has good tutorials, a gallery, and a host of advice, examples, etc. Inge/Jenova paints mostly women, in a subdued, smooth style with earthly colors (greens, browns, dark reds, etc). I have always been particularly impressed by her skintones, both humans and others like the soldiers of her Dark Age army.

About 6 years ago, when I started painting again after a long hiatus, one of the first websites I found was Jenova.dk. I liked the painting style and the color palette. There was also a certain kindness in the writing that made the site very welcoming. That was refreshing after checking pages on pages of ego-shocked painting supremos or nerds with no social skills. It was a pitty to see a few years ago that she had stopped updating and obviously had withdrawn from the all painting thing. So, good to see that she took the brushes again. Go check her work, this is great stuff. And good luck to her for the coming back!
