Description
Flensburg fjord in september. .Trying to make my paintings a bit faster and more loose - This one is certainly not very precise, but seems vibrant enough - quite content with this one! Watercolour, W&N, 32*24 cm, Hahnenmuhle paper, 300 g.Related content

Thank you for the comment - don’t know the history of this vessel, but it surely had seen better days..

Old ships are more interesting than new ones... The "rusty" color is particulary attractive! I like a lot your work! My personal old "tub" is at the beginning of my gallery: "Marine cemetery" Did you watch it? It's a large old painting.

It's really better: being not very precise...Each ship has a story that one can guess.- at Copenhagen or...Cape Town.
I like wrecks.

Thanks, Masa - this one didn’t take very long to do as is often the case when things work out well..

Thank you ,Dominik! I’ve in fact just returned from a congress in St. Gallen - very fond of your country and St Gallen in particulary - the Beautiful town was filled with young, Well educated People, which were obviously doing Well - made me feel a bit proud as an European ..Thought it can’t be that bad after all.

Great one
The reflection is very good. You captured the water well.
Don't worry about precision, it's the over all impression that counts.
If we want something "precise" then we just take a photo, the beauty of an artwork is to capture the essence, the main heart of something

Thanks Marcela, for commenting..I could not agree more..having said that, I Think that's the tricky part: to capture the essense of a motiv without overworking ( which I definitely tend to) the painting, and including only the elements nessecarily to make things work..Suppose that' s what separate the pro's from the happy amateurs ( like me)

Don't worry too much, or think...at least not in art
Try different things (techniques, motives, colors) and learn on the way.
You wanted a more loose way of painting, that's good. But when you feel you want hyper-realism or accurate details, then do that way of painting.
Play with art, don't be limited by it
God, that sounds like a quote ...you know what...I'm going to put this on my ID description.
