Painting at the museum once more
It was bad weather again yesterday. Actually, it was really, really windy. This was the first time I painted together with Annika Berglund, my new plein air painting buddy! We were at the Natural History Museum, one of my favourite haunts when the weather isn’t great.

A quick watercolour of the Vasa Museum
The museum is on Djurgården here in Stockholm. I think it’s a lovely composition with the building and the boats in front of it.
The Vasa Museum houses an almost fully intact 17th-century naval vessel, the 64 gun warship called Vasa . It sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.Vasa Museet 26 x 36 cm

Is it possible to paint plein air, indoors?
Yesterday, the weather was so bad in Stockholm. Wet and 13 degrees. I arranged with my friend Daniel Luther to meet at the Natural History Museum. We go there often during the winter, but this was the first time we visited during the summer. I painted a stuffed Woodland Kingfisher. I enjoyed myself. Oh yeah, it was the premiere for my new easel that I built just recently. I’ll talk more about that in the next post.

Painted while drinking coffee
I painted this little watercolour in a café called Tårtan (cake). I was with friends, they sketched too. I took the reference photo the summer before. The Stockholm archipelago.

Plein air painting in the countryside again
I visited my friend’s summer house again last week. It wasn’t very warm, summer hasn’t arrived yet. Anyway, I managed to do two small watercolours.

This year’s first plein air
Oh, it was so nice last Wednesday. The sun was shining and it was above freezing. Actually, it reached 12 degrees. Amazing!
I spent the day at my good friend’s summer house near Trosa. It lies south east of Stockholm. I painted two watercolour sketches, both of them I was pretty happy with. Later we had lunch in Trosa. A very enjoyable day. And to top it all off, I went to life drawing in the evening.
