For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of this fine harbour. It’s in the south of Dublin, Ireland. If you recognise where it is, please let me know. 🙂
This watercolour was painted in the studio using a photo that I had taken a while back. I find it very hard to paint at home. It’s much easier to paint when I’m outdoors. I wonder why this is?

Stockholm reflections 29.10.2024. The weather is still relatively warm for this time of year. 🙂
I over worked this watercolour maybe, but I’m totally fine with that. The most important thing for me right now is that I just paint.

I’ve probably reached 10 000 hours at this stage. Still, it doesn’t hurt to practice some more. 😛
I am relatively happy with this painting. Not technically, no, more that I was able to find something beautiful when there was no real beauty available. I try to be better at finding interesting compositions wherever I am. One just has to look around where one is standing, and if you have patience something beautiful will appear to you. Most of the time! 😉
I recently returned from a week in Poland, I was invited to Kuligów outside of Warsaw to painting outdoors with Polish, Ukrainian and Latvian artists. There was even an artist from Belarus and Hungry. It was a lovely experience. Not many spoke English, but we all shared the language of art. I took the train from Stockholm to Warsaw, return. That was an interesting adventure also.
I came back from my annual visit to beautiful Brittany at the weekend. I had lots of family time and really good food. 
I tried my hand at live portrait painting last week. It was very challenging as I am not used to painting a long pose. The model wasn’t very happy, honestly! But he did have two eyes. I seem to have lost one of his eyeballs. Sorry about that Mr. Model!
Thank you Farigh Ghaderi Art Studio! 🙂

I played with Lunar Black paint from Daniel Smith in this watercolour . If you look closely at the top and bottom of the painting, you will see a lot of pigment granulation. Lots of fun.
The reference picture for this watercolour was taken a number of years ago. I was cycling home one evening, the water was so calm, it was like a mirror. A beautiful scene. I’ve tried my best to capture the moment.
