    Stockholm – Mariehamn

    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.

    We sail a lot during the summer. The closer you are to Stockholm the more houses there are. For us it’s a warning, it means we need to keep sailing east for a few hours until we are in the outer archipelago.

    I am delighted that I am actually painting in the studio during the winter months. My mental-health suffers badly at this time, especially these last few years. The situation has improved though. It’s not perfect, but I am able to function again thanks to professional help. It’s fantastic to be regularly painting again

    I painted this watercolour from a photo I’d taken during the summer. It’s a bit of a cheat, the couple were never there. I think that’s called creative licence. I really do prefer to paint outdoors, to be in nature. It’s -8 celsius outside here in Stockholm, and it’s snowing. The studio feels pretty good right now.

    I like this motiv a lot. It was fun to paint. I am experimenting with Daniel Smith high granulation colours. I think this has the feeling or the mood I want to attain with my paintings. It’s not often I am happy with my work but I like this one. 😃
