This is my last digital boat painting for a while. I'll let them set sail and go where they want to. This one ended up a bit more surreal than the others, which was quite fun. It was also fun to add a few sailors, and give them some space in the painting. I don't…

Heading Home
My boat series is about to reach an end. It is becoming clear, as I feel that I'm moving farther and farther away from the original style. It's time to set sail in a new direction, but I do still have a few pieces to add to the collection. This one is very similar to…
In Shallow Waters
This ended up looking more like comic art than I intended: The colours are very bright, and the person on board has kind of a new style as well. I do like the strong colours, though. Even though I kind of struggle to admit it. Maybe it's the feeling of creating something a bit bold.…
A Curved Neck
Slow and steady wins the race. And some ships just have that aura, like they can just go on forever. They are slow and squeaky, but they just don't break. And with time they sail the furthest distance of them all. https://youtu.be/XvmO8zRL0ic
A Colourful Sunrise
I've been drawing a lot of boat sketches lately, like these ones: One of the main characteristics about these drawings, is the fact that the boats are not coloured. I think that gives them an interesting look. But how would the boats look with added colour? Would it look better or worse? Well, I wanted…
A Transparent Sea – The 500th post
I'm actually very happy with how this painting turned out. And good that is, because my wordpress account is telling me that this is my 500th post. As I've made evident in my recent posts, I do like the combination of yellow and blue. Especially when they're added in different strengths of colour. In addition…
Fading Away
In my mind it almost looks like the boat is fading away. Slowly drifting into the periphery on a clear, calm sea. It makes me quite peaceful looking at it. Something about just letting nature do its course. Not fighting it. Where it'll end up I don't know. But it's going where it's going. …
Floating on Loose Waves
A little more air in this one, compared to my recent ones. I think that suits the whole composition, which makes the boat look a bit less dominating. If I had sketched most of the boat black I think it would have lost too much of it's features and just made it look way to…
Lost at Land
Not a boat this time. But a dinghy: I think this one resembles the feeling of being stuck. Not getting to the place you want to be. It can be stuff from the past keeping you, or the restrictions of your current surroundings. But water can come from anywhere, at any time 🙂
Trudging Forward
Trudging forward through life. I guess that's what we need to do when it gets hard. Now that the second large wave of covid-19 seem to have reached Europe we're about to go through another period of social restrictions. In Norway we've been lucky, and prevented a large outbreak back in February. That helped the…
