I’ve admired David’s portrait skills for a number of years now. I watched this video when I was having breakfast this morning. It wasn’t the first time I watched it, some films can be watched over and over again.
Rodin’s work was is on display at the National Museum here in Stockholm. It was really inspiring.

My current urbansketching kit
This is what I used today while sketching at the National Museum here in Stockholm.
14 x 9 cm Hans.book, one clamp, Koh – i – noor putty rubber, Creatacolor 9b, 3mm 6b mechanical pencil and 0.9mm 2b mechanical pencil. I also had an Arm -Adillo pen holder.
Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stocholm 20151020
I’m feeling tired tonight, just thought I’d publish these and then go to bed.
I’m drawing with an extended pencil at the moment, it means I don’t have full control which helps me not to be so focused on just one point. I’m looking from a distance and my figure drawing is improving I think.

Jim McVicker: A Way of Seeing
I found this film about Jim McVicker to be very inspiring, mainly because I feel that I am on the same path. I’m just starting out, at least that is the way it feels.

Life drawing
20151014. Location: Master Olofsgården, Old Town, Stockholm.
This life drawing session was in the middle of the day. Normally I can’t go because of having to work, but now I only work 50% so suddenly I have more time to paint and draw, heaven!

Never throw away a painting
I was about to trash a large painting when I thought to myself, maybe I can cut it up into smaller pictures. So I cut out two, one I liked and one I didn’t.

Yeap, it’s been a few weeks since I last published. I have a good excuse though, my son was visiting, he lives in Tokyo so it was real nice spending some time with him. I plan to visit him in January, I can’t wait, I’ve never been to Japan.
Here are my life drawings dated 20151010. Location: Basis, Folkkungagatan, Stockholm
