I spent ten wonderful days kayaking in the archipelago. No hot water to wash but plenty of opportunities to sketch and paint. It was a great holiday.

Something has clicked in my head. I changed paper and slowed down, I think about composition, colour and tone. I think I’ve just taken another step on the ladder to be coming a better watercolour painter, that makes me happy.
This watercolour must have been inspired by my visit last week to Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn in Dalarna.

Portrait by Liu Yi
I want to be this good!
Frustrations of a student of watercolour and art.
I admire Liu Yi’s approach to his ballet dancers and portraits, his hard and soft edges, no pencilling. I hope to reach his level some day. I’m certainly going to give it a try.
