  • A watercolour painting of a fluffy Greek tree

    It was the end of October. I had booked a last minute flight to Chania, on the island of Crete. I don’t cope very well with the Swedish winter, so it was really nice to have a little holiday in the sun. I had rented a 50cc motorbike to help me get around the island and find inspiration.

    In this video I am about 30 minutes west of Chania town. I found a tree that interested me. The challenge I set myself was to capture its volume.

    I really enjoyed this one. It was so quiet where I was. The sound of the sea, the clear blue sky. It was wonderful.

  • I play with fire in this episode

    Hello, I visited Gålö a few weeks back and painted in sometimes challenging circumstances which demanded drastic action. I don’t how many watercolour artists use a blow torch to dry their work but I do, when it’s just not going to dry.
    All in all it was a fun day, I just love painting outdoors.

    Meldrum Art – Watercolour Demonstration

    The subject of this watercolour demonstration is The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.
    Last May I arrived there at sunrise and was excited to use my drone to film for the very first time.
    Later, back in Stockholm I really enjoyed painting the scene I chose and I hope you enjoy watching it too. As I paint I explain my thought process and how I approach each stage of the watercolour.
    The film is longer than my previous videos, this is because I want to show the full process and not to be frustrated trying to squeeze it all into a typical 20 minute YouTube film. Let me know what you think, I always welcome critical feedback that helps to improve my watercolour demonstrations.

    I hope you find this watercolour demonstration educational and a little inspiring.
