meldrum artI was very happy with the prominent position I got at this years watercolour exhibition at Väsby Konsthall. The opening was yesterday and it will run until the 15th of May.
Don’t forget my first solo exhibition next Saturday on the 23rd at Galleri T in Gamla Stan.
Venue: Basis, Stockholm 20160409
It was a different model, not as dynamic as the week before or maybe it was just me, who knows. It was most probably just me.

I tried something new yesterday and I was very happy with the result. I used a liner brush and W&N sepia watercolour paint. The poses were quickies ranging from 2, 3,4 and 5 minutes. I will be doing this again in the future, this is guaranteed 🙂

I bought an architects set of drawers, 15 in all to store my fast growing collection of watercolours and sketches. It was I challenge getting it home, I drive a VW Beetle and they are not famous for their storage abilities. Still, I managed to squeeze all 15 drawers into to car and the rest I put on the roof. I did get a few looks as I drove across the city in the evening rush hour.

These life drawings are from two weeks ago. I was not in good form that evening, I left half way through in fact. We were moved to a smaller room with bad lighting. I wasn’t inspired so I left, that doesn’t happen so often, actually it has never happened before. I’ll give Tuesday’s a break for a while, until I feel the hunger again.
I’m not blogging as much as I’d like to right now. I am going through a rather intensive watercolouring period. I really want to improve and so all focus is centred on painting.
My two week period as an artist has come to and end and so tomorrow I am a web designer again. I am lucky, I have a job that I enjoy but I know after a few days I will be looking forward to my artist period again.
I have my first solo exhibition on the 23rd April 2016. I guess this is the main reason why I am not blogging as often. Nothing like a deadline to focus the mind. 😉
I like Anders Zorn’s nudes that he painted here in the Swedish archipelago. So I was pleased to discover someone who is just as good except that she was a photographer, Anne Brigman (1869-1950). The video quality is quite good so view in full-screen mode for best experience.
