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.

Just getting out and painting
This plein air watercolour is a view of Riddarholmen in Stockholm. I’ve painted it before. It was very spontaneous, I just stopped and said to myself, I’ll paint that.
Currently, I have the mindset of just getting out of the apartment, loading my bike with my painting gear, and seeing what happens. I just cycle until I see something that inspires. I find that not making any definite plans makes it feel more like an adventure. It’s just more fun.

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.

Evening in the archipelago
This little watercolour was painted at the end of the day, during my recent three week sailing holiday. ⛵️
Archipelago -
Another lovely memory from my sailing holiday.
There was no wind, just bright sunshine and an artist trying to capture the moment.
The outer archipelago. -
One of the better watercolours from my sailing holiday.
The weather was stunning for 2 whole weeks, or was it more? I think this painting communicates the fact that we were sailing in the outer archipelago, and it was 25 degrees, with no wind at the time.
Far out in the archipelago -
Crazy sunset and nasty vegetation
I was out sailing in the outer archipelago. Three weeks, it was heaven. The watercolour of the sailing boats was painted in Finnhamn. It was a beautiful sunset, but the painting was a failure, technically speaking. I like it anyway, it speaks to me.
The wild vegetation was painted on Bullerö. We moored in a small natural harbour on the north of the island. It was very difficult to pass through the low trees and wire like shrub. The purpose of the watercolour was to capture the unfriendly bushes and trees.

Painting watercolours in the rain
A quick watercolour sketch from inside my boat. It was raining, so it was nice to have a roof over my head. I had my mini palette with six colours.
