This video is a continuation of my first tip on stretching watercolour paper. The difference being this one is much more hands-on, you actually get to see me stretch paper! Yes, only watercolour nerds will find this interesting 🙂

Stockholm by Meldrum

I was playing with contrasts today, in the end I was quite happy with the way it turned out. More urban paintings on the way I feel.

A moment of solitude

Yes, I said I was not going to paint sailing boats for a while and this is so far true. I cannot resist the sea though, I could never stop painting the ocean, I love it too much.
This watercolour is painted on Arches rough paper and is 70 x 24 cm.

Have a nice weekend!

David Meldrum painted this during his lunch break in 2012. This is the first year he started to paint for 30 years. www.meldrum.se/about

One of my first watercolours from 2012. I should try painting portraits, I painted so few when I think about it.

At least it’s not a sailing boat

Djurgårdsfärjan vid Stadshuset

Yes, it’s not a sailing boat but one of the old ferries that work everyday here in Stockholm. I love painting water and sky, I will never stop painting them but I can be brave and take a break from sailing boats for a while, a good while.
My plan is to start painting people more. I bought a new camera with a super zoom lens so that I can capture people doing their things. I was out cycling around town today taking lots of photos. I felt a bit like a voyeur but I’m sure I’ll get used to street photography after a few tries.

This is my last sailing boat for a while. It’s time to challange myself with other things.
