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.

Sketches on the road.
I had a brilliantly inspiring trip last week visiting my Swedish artist heroes. Zorn being the cherry on the cake. Here are two sketches I did while touring. The one on the right was only five minutes from home. My wife shopped for food and I stayed guarding the car.

I was just playing around here with Fabriano paper. It behaves differently compared to Arches.

More Bacon
I could not let it go, I had to have another try. This was a quick sketch were I focused on the shapes of the face and not the details.

I’m trying to do one portrait a day right now. I like setting impossible goals. Let’s see how many days I manage. This one is of Elvis Costello, I didn’t get his eyes right, I don’t mind, it’s only practice after all. It’s more fun when drawings don’t become precious.

Portrait practice
Not much to say about this portrait really, a beautiful face that I found while surfing the internet which in turn compelled me to draw. So I say thank you to however you are, you are an inspiration.

Norway Part Two
I arrived back home yesterday evening from my week’s holiday in Norway. What an amazing place, I’ll visit again for sure. I didn’t paint much, there wasn’t time. At least I’ve learned how to travel for next time. One day on the road and the next behind my easel 🙂
