I over worked this watercolour maybe, but I’m totally fine with that. The most important thing for me right now is that I just paint.

Practice
I’ve probably reached 10 000 hours at this stage. Still, it doesn’t hurt to practice some more. 😛

Painting the mundane
I am relatively happy with this painting. Not technically, no, more that I was able to find something beautiful when there was no real beauty available. I try to be better at finding interesting compositions wherever I am. One just has to look around where one is standing, and if you have patience something beautiful will appear to you. Most of the time! 😉
I recently returned from a week in Poland, I was invited to Kuligów outside of Warsaw to painting outdoors with Polish, Ukrainian and Latvian artists. There was even an artist from Belarus and Hungry. It was a lovely experience. Not many spoke English, but we all shared the language of art. I took the train from Stockholm to Warsaw, return. That was an interesting adventure also.

Sailing holiday sketches
I have been a bit slow to publish here. These are my watercolours from this summer’s sailing trip. We did not sail so far this year. Just sailed with the wind, sometimes going south, other times sailing northward. We had a lovely three weeks in the archipelago anyway. It’s always beautiful there.

Beautiful Brittany
I came back from my annual visit to beautiful Brittany at the weekend. I had lots of family time and really good food.

Live portrait painting
I tried my hand at live portrait painting last week. It was very challenging as I am not used to painting a long pose. The model wasn’t very happy, honestly! But he did have two eyes. I seem to have lost one of his eyeballs. Sorry about that Mr. Model!
Thank you Farigh Ghaderi Art Studio! 🙂

I played with Lunar Black paint from Daniel Smith in this watercolour . If you look closely at the top and bottom of the painting, you will see a lot of pigment granulation. Lots of fun.
The reference picture for this watercolour was taken a number of years ago. I was cycling home one evening, the water was so calm, it was like a mirror. A beautiful scene. I’ve tried my best to capture the moment.
