In my last post I tried out a new, looser style for drawing people. It ended up like this: It was fun trying to create something original on my own, so I decided to have another go at it. This time the scenery got a bit more detailed, but the style of the people ended…

I've decided that 2020 is the year where I'll try to specialize my efforts a bit. I'll try my best to actually plan a painting, and not just do something on a whim and see how it goes. I'll try to find some chosen mediums and motives to get better at, and not just try…

I've been storing all my watercolour paintings in a drawer for the last year. Unfortunately it makes me forget all about them, and what I possibly can do with them. I was going through the drawer the other day. At the same time I noticed that I had some unused frames standing by the wall.…

Previously I've written more of an essay when trying to sum up the year that has passed. I realize that the only one who can bear reading all the way through it, though, is me. I've therefore decided to keep it short this time. To sum up; 2019 was the year where I first tried…

Finally a watercolour painting I'm pleased with! It's probably because I moved my scenery from urban surroundings and out to the landscapes, which just felt more right. I also feel that the colours - in the way they are blended and the amount of them - looks much better and with more depth than my…
