Zorn inspired pencil sketch.

I am reading Anders Zorn's self-biography at the moment. Maybe this is why I did this sketch of a nude bathing in water. The reference image I found on the internet, the model's name is Finch Linden.

Weekend cloud practice

The scary thing about painting a nice sky is that one has to have the nerve to finish the rest of the picture.

Rather extreme lunchtime painting

Not happy with one watercolour during my lunch break I attempted three. Each was painted on different paper. I wanted to see how the pigment reacted on each. Arches rough, Fabriano fine grain and Fabriano satin. I enjoy working at speed but this was pushing it a bit! ;)

Lunchtime watercolour

I am enjoying playing around with skies at the moment.

Stockholm sketchers.

I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon with the Stockholm Urbansketchers. There were many new faces which was great. I had planed to do some watercolour sketches but I found it hard to relax and so focused on doing small pencil drawings instead. So interesting this art thing, it's such a mind game!

Lunchtime romance

A lttle watercolour completed during the lunch break.

Morning sketch hour

Drawing is a great hobby when you have just missed a train in the morning.

Tuesday's watercolour

I played with clouds today. Good lunchtime practice.

Lunchtime watercolour

Monday's effort. Stadshuset,  Stockholm.

Weekend sketch

Sketch from Finnbodahamn.

Along the waterfront

I cycled along the waterfront as I do each day. The temperature  has improved enough to stop and sketch. It's beautiful.

Urbansketching on my Instagram account

I've discovered that Instagram is an excellent way to publish on several social media platforms at the same time. Unfortunately Google is not included. So check out my urban sketching on Instagram.

Lunchtime watercolour

This painting took two lunchtimes to complete. I'm happy with the looseness of it,  I try all the time to let go,  it doesn't come naturally,  I hope it does one day.

Evening sketch of Waldemarsudde

I am trying to paint and draw as much as possible right now. I sketch in the morning, I watercolour during lunch,  I paint again on the way home and best of all,  my employers want me to draw portraits full-time! I should improve with all this going on,  must be careful not to burnout. This sketch is a view of Waldemarsudde,  Stockholm.

Double lunchtime watercolour

Yes, this one took me two lunchtimes to complete. I'm just happy to start painting again. I got into a bit of a rut during the last few weeks. Too much going on, I'm looking forward to the summer months.
