This plein air watercolour was originally a landscape painting but it just didn’t work. It was only when I cut it into a portrait format that it communicated the feeling of the day when I stood on the beach in Ploubazlanec, Brittany.

Painting from Beckholmen on a damp day
I painted the other week on Beckholmen, Stockholm. The view is of Danvikshem which is very close to where I live. Size: 26 x 36 cm.

It’s easier to paint when it’s not blowing a storm
It’s better now but the first two weeks of our sailing trip was all about dodging the strong winds and seeking good shelter. This watercolour sketch was painted at Fjärdlång on the 8th of July. I’m aware the trees look like green fireworks but that’s what I felt when I tried to capture the view from my boat. A little weird maybe, what do you think?

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.Painting Outdoors – Gålö, Stockholm ( Ep15)
