Norgeson / Nadia and Jan Helge Almås are a creative couple that live in northern Norway.
We are like most artists, a little crazy. Our focus is not to sell our own art, but to assist people with big painting activities or prepare quality painting kits so people can paint a Norgeson themselves.
It gives us so much more pleasure to see that someone has painted a Norgeson, then to see someone that has a print of our art on the wall.
We have used the name Norgeson because we consider those kits our children. Most of them have focus on subjects from Norway nature or fairytales. Norway is called Norge, children of Norge = Norgeson

When we create a design, we start with painting an original.

This is the part that takes the longest time in the process.
“Trying and failing” is a normal occurrence during this process, but we don’t give up until we have painted something that would be perfect for creating a design.

We then draw out the design by hand.
We do not believe that computers can calculate the artistic lines that are needed to achieve a great result.

It is a time-consuming process, but necessary to get an optimal design.

It then becomes paint by number fun.
This is also necessary regarding the final design. The best way to see what changes are needed on the design, is to paint it and test it.

We have designs that have been test painted over 10 times until we finally get a result that we are happy with.

When all is good, it is time to produce the kit so you can buy a Norgeson.

Jan Helge does the printing and cutting, while Nadia puts the painting kit together.

Teamwork <3

Buying a Norgeson is quite similar to taking a real life art lesson.
When we teach people to paint, we give advice with the lines in their painting and we help them with color choises and techniques.

And even when we paint an original painting it is pretty similar to painting a Norgeson.
We start with a basic sketch and we have the “numbers” already in our head.
This makes it easier for us to create a quality detailed number sketch when we are done with painting an original.

Our kits is pure quality! Handmade design printed on quality canvas. The best paint in painting tubes. The top quality brushes that we also use when we paint our original paintings and you get top quality stretcher bars with wedges on our medium and XL sizes. (Wedges make sure that your canvas is always stretched) You can choose if you want Nadia to assemble the kit for you, or you can go for the cheaper DIY option. All is included on both options!

The abstract style you see in most of our designs have a purpose, it makes it easier to paint outside the line and small “errors” will become personal touches, your abstract interpretation.

By adding texture and with our blending techniques, your creativity will be stimulated and you will soon see that your painting turns out greater then the product photo.

Our biggest passion is orginazing painting activities.

The difference between DIY and Framed is easy. If you want framed, we will do all this steps for you.

Your Norgeson DIY have arrived.

It comes in a big tube from Norway with love <3

You need a stapler gun, small hammer and a scissor to put the kit together.

Take your DIY kit out of the tube, and carefully roll it out.

Read the instructions and carefully put away the canvas and the paper.

Unpack the bubblewrap.

Here you see all is included.

lots of paint, a quality brush set, painting cups, wallmount, stretcherbars and wedges

Put the stretcher bars in the same position, all have the size numbers up.

Slide the corners of the stretcher bars into each other.

Use a hammer to carefully make the corners fit perfectly.

Also check if all corners are at the correct angle.
The corner of a table ( 90degress angle ) or a door opening can be used for this.

On each corner, you will see some extra guiding lines. These will help you to mount the canvas.
Now turn the canvas over with the blank side up.

Put the wood frame over the canvas, the side with the size number up.

Now use the guiding line close to the thumb, to adjust the frame in the center.

The guiding line will follow the outside corner of the frame and the line on the design will follow the bottom edge of the stretcher bar.

When the guiding lines are matching the frame on the width and the height, its time to use the stapler.

Start stapling 15cm / 6″ from the corner. This will make the corner folding easier.

Now staple the opposite side first, and then the “sides”, use the guiding lines as showed before.

Remember to keep a small distance to the corners, to make the corner fold easy.

The extra guiding lines are helping again.
Use scissors to cut it down to the edge of the design.

Then cut away this part, follow the line that is on the bottom of the design it self.

Turn the small fold in and “hide” it by overlapping the side canvas and staple it.

Remember, do not staple in the corner line where the stretcher bars are jointed.

This area has to be free to move later so it is easier to stretch the canvas more if needed.

Time to attach the wall mount. Use a ruler and find the centre of the top side stretcher bar.

Put the wall mount in center, we use a screwdriver first to make small holes for the screws. Then it is easier to screw them in.

Finally, put in the corner wedges.

If your canvas needs more stretching, all you need to do is to carefully use a hammer and put those wedges in more. They will make the stretcher bars expand.

Now all is ready to start creating your own amazing art. See our technique videos on suggestions of how to make your Norgeson look like a real painting.
