Sunday Watercolors - Inspired by Lars Lerin


One of my favorite Swedish watercolor artists is called Lars Lerin and I recently borrowed one of his many wonderful books; Mellan Husen (Between the houses) - paintings from Lofoten, Norway.
I was immediately inspired to try to test what techniques he uses to get the amazing light he has in his paintings. This is my first try:

Have a great Sunday, hugs, Karin

  2. Really stunning, Karin... the sense of light here is fabulous with the house's reflection on [what looks to me like] a frozen pond. I'd love to take lessons from you!!
