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.
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.

I stumbled over this site this morning while on Facebook. Alexandra Becker-Black is a watercolour artist who does very good figurative work. Visit her website here.
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.
