A few weeks ago I went on a short trip to Gålö which is 27 km south of Stockholm. It’s a nature reserve, and camping there is relatively easy. It always amazes me how close I actually am to nature even though I spend most of my time in an urban environment like Stockholm.
I wandered around the reserve for ages exploring and enjoying the sights and sounds of early summer. Eventually I found a scene that I wanted to sketch, I had my camera gear with me and so it has become my 18th YouTube episode. I hope you enjoy it. I explain my process as I go along, painting techniques and compositional thoughts etc. You can see a list of the watercolours I use in the description under the YouTube video.
