Lunchtime watercolour

This painting took two lunchtimes to complete. I’m happy with the looseness of it,  I try all the time to let go,  it doesn’t come naturally,  I hope it does one day.

Evening sketch of Waldemarsudde

I am trying to paint and draw as much as possible right now. I sketch in the morning, I watercolour during lunch,  I paint again on the way home and best of all,  my employers want me to draw portraits full-time! I should improve with all this going on,  must be careful not to burnout. This sketch is a view of Waldemarsudde,  Stockholm.

Double lunchtime watercolour

Yes, this one took me two lunchtimes to complete. I’m just happy to start painting again. I got into a bit of a rut during the last few weeks. Too much going on, I’m looking forward to the summer months.

Lunchtime watercolour

I’m trying to get back into a rhythm with my painting. I have been a bit lost lately, mainly because I have so much going on in my life besides art. This watercolour sketch took two lunchtimes to complete. It’s a portrait of a Swedish artist that I admire. It’s not a perfect likeness, I wasn’t concerned with that, I just wanted to paint a picture. Tomorrow I will paint another lunchtime watercolour and it might even be an improvement on today’s effort. Who knows.

Watercolour practice.

Monday, 30th of March, 2015
I didn’t know what to paint during my lunch hour, I only had a half an hour. I decided to do a bit of cloud practice.

A visit to the museum

A visit to the Natural History Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. 20150319

I was with the Stockholm Urban Sketchers last Sunday, we spent half a day having fun sketching all the stuffed animals. It’s kind of morbid but at least they don’t move when you’re trying to draw them. I really enjoyed it, I’ll be going back there again soon.
