    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.

    Painting watercolours and catching up with friends

    Last weekend I met my life drawing friends. We’ve known each other for years so it has been tough not meeting them due to the pandemic. It was incredibly nice to meet finally, we sketched a little, I chose to paint the Vasa museum, a must see if you ever visit Stockholm. The high point of yesterday was not the sketching really but the coffee afterwards and the hours of happy chatting with the autumn sometimes reminding us it was on it’s way. Later in the evening I finished the sketch. I am experimenting more, it’s a lot of fun. 13 x 17.5 cm
