Hi everyone! I hope you're all safe and well! This video is pretty different from what we usually make! I had a really good time staying at the cabin and dedicating a full week to painting. If you could dedicate a few days to a hobby or a skill: what would you work on? 🤔

I took up model building again about 6 years ago, and I love nothing more than working on a diorama or a new kit. It centers me and at the same time, it helps me relax. Your paintings are amazing and your abstract is my favourite. If no members of your family want it, I would definitely put it pride and place in my study 😍

Not gonna lie I'd love that

I just stumbled across this video and I don't know anything about you or your channel but honest to god... This is the most fucking interesting and inspirational video I think I've ever seen on YT and the most precious thing to do! I really have a lot of respect for you and how you mastered these days all alone and this challenge. I myself live in a cabin in the woods. I love to to draw. But both are aspects in my life I haven't been able to enjoy lately, especially since Corona. The lonliness of absolutely NO human contact at all for such a long time(even though I'm social phobic and really avoid humans whenever possible lol) and the stress that drawing triggers in me have made it difficult even though I love nothing more than nature and art. But you with this video really moved something in me so THANK YOU! :) I'm going to start drawing again and try to not focus on the outcome but the process. Try new things like landscapes, which I never was good at, only portraits but now I have so much motivation for learning it and overcoming my fear! The joy it brings, not the pressure I put myself under usually. Also I'm going to look again at all the things I always loved so much living here and not focus on the solitude. Great project!

I couldn't get enough of this. I watched the whole thing and was sad when it ended. I wish I could do something like this. I need make time for painting. Before kids I use to paint 8 hours and not even know so much time had passed. Sometimes it's like I was in a trance and I didn't even know what I had painted till the end. The kids are older and I'm starting to have more time, but I'm out rusty

I don't know how old your kids are, but maybe you could introduce them to painting alongside you? I know it can be tough to find time for hobbies once you have people depending on you, but even if you can't reach old levels right now, maybe you could find some way back towards painting and pass your passion on to your kids as well :)

The art is amazing, Martina is amazing, but can we all appreciate Hansi a bit? The challenges he wrote were amazing and really suited every day for what Martina was experiencing. Giving her a break in isolation in the middle of the week by having a friend visit, and the last one being finality shows he put so much thought into it! Love both of you so much, keep up the great work! ❤️

I find it interesting to watch her paint. Bob Ross starts with the background and works his way forward in the scene, but here she starts with the major elements and works around those, wherever they happen to be. I'm not sure it's any easier, but it's definitely got some excellent results behind it!

One of the things i most remember about Alaska, which is kinda like American Norway, was the mosquitos. I dont understand how they survive the winters, and in the summer I dont understand how everyone survives the mosquitos.

I seriously envy you! I really wish I could visit a cabin in the woods so I can get in touch with my creativity while being surrounded by lovely nature. Just peace and quiet so I can focus on my writing, with no interruptions. When you're trapped in a city, it sounds like a dream. Phenomenal artwork! I am very intimidated by traditional mediums in painting (I prefer to work on art digitally), but after seeing this, I definitely want to face my fears and give it a shot.

who knows, Nerdforge when not recording, she met Kiki. 😂😂😂

Some absolutely phenomenal art Martina, love them all i thought you would paint that view but every painting you did do was soo good.

I realy love how you come up whit these paintings whit out a reference photo. I always need a reference photo. I am super impressed by that Martina

This one was less about the painting and more about Martina. It was brilliant. She combines funny, talented and a little bit vulnerable in a wonderful way. Nice to see Hansi at the beginning and end too.

It is so important for a person to spend time alone with themselves. It's eye-opening. If we can't be alone with our own self for an extended period of time, we lose a lot of helpful information. I have been a lover of solitude all my life - in fact, I'd rather be alone than with people for a whole bushel basket full of reasons. Mostly, I just like to have the quiet time where I can think, talk to myself about my ideas and challenges, spend time reading, gardening, fishing, writing, trying my hand at a new skill (basket weaving right now) or just sleeping. I loved seeing the difference between your woods and the ones we have here - ours are pine trees mostly where I live. The view from your lookout was superb. I think your paintings turned out great, although I have to agree with you on your floating orb. Challenges well met. I am looking forward to your next video.

Hey girl! Just wanna tell you that you have inspired me to paint again! Your honesty and passion really helped me find my artistic bravery! Thank you! 🤗 You're super talented and I can't wait to see more of your work! Mystical love from Scotland!

That was one of the best most unique painting videos Ive seen in awhile!!! I really enjoyed watching this video, thank you for sharing. Much love❤💜

YOU NEED TO MAKE SELLABLE PRINTS OF THESE PAINTINGS!!!!

I'm a painter too. I paint with oil paint in the style of the 17th century a.k.a. The Golden Age. I am normally not a fan of abstract paintings. But yours is amazing 👏🏼

Great job! Those paintings that you did for Simon, and especially the Final painting(!!!) were especially amazing. The one by the stream/river was also quite special. Thank you for doing the video and sharing. This was inspiring!

Hi! I have to admit there are tears in my eyes now.. I've already seen a few of your videos and i know you're super creative and inspiring, but this... this is another level. I'm stuck on quarantine, my country's at war and i'm desperate to find a job but you took me on that life saving trip with you and I just feel reborn. You're incredibly beautiful, kind and talented person but the most amazing thing is your ability to share all this with others. Thank you!

I am in awe. That first day painting, "Real with a Twist" was so pretty. Actually, everything you did was so pretty. I love it! Good job in your painting retreat! When you started painting by yourself without any prompts or challenges, I was so happy for you. That's when you know its working! If I ever get the chance to do this, I might do a writing retreat. sadly, my anxiety might not allow me to retreat that far off from civilization. You might be anxious about this video, but I really enjoyed it, and I can see that everyone else did as well! Keep up the good work! (BOTH of you are still the cutest couple ever.)

I started trying to teach myself how to paint during quarantine, so finding this video really helps cement the idea that creativity and skill can be improved day by day, challenge by challenge I just loved every painting.

I really enjoyed your video! This was such a great idea to spend a week alone!!! 😍 Your art is amazing! I love your first painting and your abstract painting! You are so wonderful! 💖

I literally stopped breathing for a moment. All of this is so, so beautiful. Your paintings are beautiful. This cabin in the middle of nowhere is beautiful. And you are so beautiful, creative and brave.

I’m literally begging you to sell prints of these I would buy them SO FAST

I started following this channel a couple of days ago and I am amazed and blown away by the talent, passion and commitment of you two! I’ve enjoyed every single one of the clips I’ve seen thank you so much!!! Dragqueen kisses from Sweden

Sending Simon to check on her while also making it a challenge was so smart.

Thanks for sharing this video. Live in a big city and work too much and feel like this is something I need. But equally inspired by all the other videos to make something! Also enjoy hearing the back and forth in your native Norwegian too.

That harsh line in the middle of the sphere, it looks like to me anyway is a portal opening and something is about to come through! I think it's an absolutely gorgeous painting and I would be proud to have it in my collection!

This is the kind of art and life I've dreamed of having. Your art is magnificent!

« Yes I count on my fingers like a child » 😂 me too! This is awesome, I would love to be able to do this!

So I had an idea: what if you paint one piece of something everyday and then on the last day you merge it all together in one huge painting? For example: Day 1: Character Day 2: Weapon Day 3: piece of clothing Day 4: Room Day 5: Character with weapon and piece of clothing in room Idk I just feel like that would create a masterpiece on a whole other level

ok I would buy all of them, they look so pleasing for the eye. Mostly I like those creatures by the river. Also it is nice to hear you talk in your native language:-)

New to your channel. You and your partner are such beautiful humans! I really enjoy watching all of the inner struggles as an artist. Your work is fresh and fun and you are on the planet for this! Thank you for sharing.

It's beautiful to see an artist work so diligently at their talent. I can't say friend because we haven't met. But I am an artist myself and have worked hard at my talent and it's a pleasure to see another do the same. I apricate all artist who work so hard at their craft. So many people don't really know what it takes to be the best. it's drill, drill, drill because you always keep learning.

the last painting "Finality" is my FAVORITE great job! and I did really like the one you gave to your pizza friend too 🙂

Ahhhhhh, Martina! Literally, every single one was amazing and so beautiful your art is SO hecking good!!

I watched this video so many times and every time she tells herself “you are my mountain and I will concur you, and I will I will concur you!? Grrrrr?!” I laugh every time I just love it 🥰🥰🥰😎👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The scenery is mindblowing. I'm happy that you had this experience.

I haven't seen all 5 yet, but so far the 3rd one is my favorite. I can't wait to see the rest, but I love anything that speaks to magic and fantasy. You nailed it. (Oh, I thought it was a literal week, you know, 7 days. You wimp. Lol). Okay, the last one evokes epic drama, so emotive. Geez. I'm torn, but I think the last one has to be my favorite. That gave off the smell of *victory.* You're an amazing artist. I feel I should by some pigments. Nah. I can't deal with the accumulation of things I have no one to give them to. And selling, well . . .

I really, really wanted to see Hansi’s reaction to the paintings - what did he think seeing his challenges brought to life? 😲 Awesome video - enjoyed taking the trip with you!

You did so well! And Oh my! So BRAVE! You went running around the woods with no one around to help you out if you sprained your ankle or twisted a knee! Well here’s to you and your wonderful artworks from your week of solitude! I enjoyed watching the cleaning montage, getting the cabin ready for the next occupant. Now you strike me as a very capable young lady and I am truly impressed by all of your amazing artworks and projects that you guys create for your channel. I am glad that you have this video available for your viewers to watch and enjoy, thanks!

What a blessing to know people who have access to all of that!!! I'M DROOLING! Wonderful paintings! You are a true artist with a lovely spirit!

That looked like an amazing time! Quarantine has left me with quite the artist's block, if I found an opportunity like that I would take it in a heartbeat.

I’m so jealous! You live in such a beautiful country! Mine is just filled with buildings and rubbish :/ I’ll have to escape to a cabin in the wild someday

A good way to distract mosquitoes is with a small bottle of water with the top 1/3rd cut off and flipped over to create a kind of funnel trap, and put some bread yeast in there with the water. Be sure to place it well away from you because the mosquitoes will be attracted to the carbon dioxide released (which is why they swarm humans) and they will hopefully get trapped in the bottle. I hope this helps for the next trip out to the woods. Excellent video by the way guys. Really enjoying the content.

This is so lovely! All of your videos inspire me to be creative and nurture my love of fantasy, but this video is encouraging me to work on skills that I want to improve in. Painting does not come naturally to me at all, but I love it anyways. I will never be at this level, but I can continue to improve for the rest of my life, and that is an exciting thought :) Thank you!

I stumbled across this channel last week while looking on KZread for inspiration for a model three storey Tudor house I’m building and have been binge watching since. I really find yours and Hansi's creativity and talent inspiring and motivational and your videos have boosted my desire to get on with my own project. With the paintings in this video I always like to make up a backstory in my mind, for me the two that stand out are the creatures in the forest and the glowing orb. I like to think the creatures by the stream are the spirits of life born from the perfect combination and balance of all the four elements (earth, wind, fire and water) whose job is to try to protect and to keep a harmonious balance of the elements in the all wild places. With the glowing orb I imagine it being this grand pantheon of galactic knowledge at the centre of the universe where the knowledge and wisdom of all life is gathered and stored and presided over by these glowing orbs who will grant access to any life form inquisitive enough to find this bastion of knowledge! As a final note I have to say I am in awe of your talent Martina and Hansi!
