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.

Painting at the museum once more
It was bad weather again yesterday. Actually, it was really, really windy. This was the first time I painted together with Annika Berglund, my new plein air painting buddy! We were at the Natural History Museum, one of my favourite haunts when the weather isn’t great.

A quick watercolour of the Vasa Museum
The museum is on Djurgården here in Stockholm. I think it’s a lovely composition with the building and the boats in front of it.
The Vasa Museum houses an almost fully intact 17th-century naval vessel, the 64 gun warship called Vasa . It sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.Vasa Museet 26 x 36 cm

Is it possible to paint plein air, indoors?
Yesterday, the weather was so bad in Stockholm. Wet and 13 degrees. I arranged with my friend Daniel Luther to meet at the Natural History Museum. We go there often during the winter, but this was the first time we visited during the summer. I painted a stuffed Woodland Kingfisher. I enjoyed myself. Oh yeah, it was the premiere for my new easel that I built just recently. I’ll talk more about that in the next post.

Painted while drinking coffee
I painted this little watercolour in a café called Tårtan (cake). I was with friends, they sketched too. I took the reference photo the summer before. The Stockholm archipelago.
