Here are two quick watercolours I did during the last month.

Trawler 20150912 11,5 x 7,8 cm, Fabriano fne grain 300g |
This was lunchtime watercolour was initially a failure. I made a mistake and I thought the painting was ruined. So I relaxed and played around with it, did things that I wouldn’t normally do like scratch the surface. In the end I was quite happy wit the result. “One should never give up on a painting!”, is the the moral of the story I guess.
Arches rough, 300g, 31 x 23 cm |
A watercolour of the Stockholm ferry called Västan, an old steamer from 1900 and still going strong.This was the first time I painted in this large a format of 70 x 50cm. It’s kinda scary, because so much can go wrong. Thankfully I didn’t make too many mistakes and I’m happy with the end result.

I just spent two weeks sailing here in Stockholm. The weather was not the best, I had to use mittens at one point while painting. There was a storm, lots of wind and rain but I still enjoyed myself anyway. It’s hard to beat the beauty of the archipelago. I plan to spend more time painting there next year, I am looking forward to it already.
