My pen and wash life drawing sketches are improving… At least that’s how it feels to me! 🙂

I spent Sunday afternoon sketching at Dieselverkstaden with a newly formed Stockholm sketching group called ‘Skissa i Stockholm’. A fun day was had by all and I’m quite sure we will be meeting again very soon.

I regularly sketch at Basis on Folkungagatan here in Stockholm. It’s only ten minutes from my home and the 12 o’clock start on a Saturday morning is just perfect for me. The atmosphere is very relaxed and one gets a little tuition for the 100 kronor one pays which is not bad at all. The life drawing session is two hours long.

Here are some sketches from Saturday’s life drawing session at Basis here in Stockholm. Sorry, but the scans are pretty awful.

This was a two hour pose at the Swedish Academy of Realistic Art last Thursday, I can’t say I am happy with this in its entirety but some elements of the painting are ok.

37th Sketch Crawl
I was the lone Stockholm Sketcher this time around, I had a fun day relaxing in the cool autumn air and managed to produce three sketches. Drottningsgatan, Fjärilshuset and Kulturhuset.

I was able to get into the groove during this session. It was one of those better days… 🙂

Piet Lap – I want to take a closer look at his work at a later date. I know nothing about him except that he paints extremely well! Here is a link to his website.
