If you like Alex's work you'll love this student lecture from 2012. (Not sure if I've published this before.)

Here is an interesting talk about Anders Zorn's house in Mora, Sweden. Johan Cederlund is the director of the Zorn Museum there.

Since 2006, he has served as museum director of the Zorn Collections in Mora. He is an adjunct professor at Uppsala University.

Paul Klein on becoming a successful artist

I thought Paul here had good advice to offer on becoming a successful artist. I'm just starting out, having just become a half-time employee and therefore halving my income. I need a certain level of success if I want to afford visiting my son in Tokyo etc. This is why I found this video interesting, he has the experience that I have to gain, the quicker I learn the better.

Drawing the Eye by David Jon Kassan

I've admired David's portrait skills for a number of years now. I watched this video when I was having breakfast this morning. It wasn't the first time I watched it, some films can be watched over and over again.

Jim McVicker: A Way of Seeing

I found this film about Jim McVicker to be very inspiring, mainly because I feel that I am on the same path. I'm just starting out, at least that is the way it feels.

International watercolor society art contest 2013

Useful watercolour portrait videos by Michael Holter.

I stumbled over these videos while searching the internet. I was looking for inspirational figure painting and portraiture in watercolour. Michael Holter is very similar to Ted Nutall. I hope my style matures to be more free and loose. Saying that there is a lot to learn from Michael and Ted and their approach to portraiture in watercolour.

The Three Amigos

This is a must see video if you enjoy the work of any of these watercolouring greats, Joseph Zbukvic, Herman Pekel and Alvaro Castagnet. I owe at lot of what I've learned to these artists and their wonderful DVDs.

People at work - by Joseph Zbukvic

Joseph Zbukvic has a new video produced by APV Films. Joseph is one of a small group of watercolour artists that I draw inspiration and knowledge from, this new video is a treat for me!

This is the best gallery of Joseph's work that I've seen on the internet.

Blade Runner - The Aquarelle Edition

This animation consists of 12 597 handmade aquarelle paintings, each painting is approximately 1,5*3cm in size. Together they form Anders Ramsell's 35 minute long paraphrase on the motion picture Blade Runner (1982) by Ridley Scott.

Lars Lerin Museum in Karlstad, Sweden + more

I think Lars Lerin is one of the more interesting Watercolourists here in Sweden. Here is a playlist containing several films about him. I haven't visited his museum yet but I will do one of these days.

Lars Lerin - Kanal 12 i Varmland

Lars Lerin is probably the most interesting and talented watercolourist living in Sweden today. Here are three interviews about Lars and his work. The videos are in Swedish unfortunately. You can see his paintings here is you are not familiar with his work. He doesn't seem to have a web-gallery which is a pity. There is a documentary I would like to see called, "För dig naken", it was filmed by his niece, Sara Bross and was released in 2012.
