  • A watercolour painting of a fluffy Greek tree

    It was the end of October. I had booked a last minute flight to Chania, on the island of Crete. I don’t cope very well with the Swedish winter, so it was really nice to have a little holiday in the sun. I had rented a 50cc motorbike to help me get around the island and find inspiration.

    In this video I am about 30 minutes west of Chania town. I found a tree that interested me. The challenge I set myself was to capture its volume.

    I really enjoyed this one. It was so quiet where I was. The sound of the sea, the clear blue sky. It was wonderful.

    Chania, Crete. A week in pictures

    Here are a bunch of photos that show my painting experience while getting a small winter-break from the darkness of the north.

    Each morning I would drive off with my easel looking for something to inspire me.

  • Sometimes, it just doesn’t work out

    Sometimes, it just doesn’t work out

    I tried my best to capture the little castle called, Kastellet. Unfortunately my composition was not very good. Although, I liked the little castle. So it worked out a little.

  • Plein air in the archipelago

    Plein air in the archipelago

    Watercolours from Svartlöga and Finnhamn in the Stockholm archipelago. It was the beginning of August. I travelled by ferry, I slept in a tent. I painted the landscape, and the weather was beautiful. I could live in the summer all year round.

    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

    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.
