You have still time to watch this little fellow
‘The Saimaa ringed seal, saimaannorppa in Finnish,
is one of the rarest seals in the world.’
LIVE HERE
Maybe you’ve noticed I’ve been away a couple of weeks…
I’ll be on and off near future too. I don’t have time to be online because
SPRING is here and we have to do all kinds of things out there…
‘sketch and complete a work in five minutes’
Here are the sketches
and here with watercolor, finished
All finished images
Tein näitä enemmänkin mutta en millään ehdi editoida ja postata enempää.
Viisi työtä ja viisi minuuttia…
Mukavaa toukokuun jatkoa kaikille!
I’m linking these also for

Kepeän hauskoja piirroksia ovat kaikki 5 min työsi. Hyvin sopeutuvat kollaasiin ja onnittelut papukaijasta 🙂
Hyvää ja onnellista kesää sinulle 🙂
Love the pops of color you add to your sketches with watercolor! Watercolor is by far my favorite medium and I love seeing all the different effects people get with it! Happy PPF!
your style is pro, I just let it flow! 🙂
I did not see the video when i clicked on the link so i went to YOUTUBE
Luv the watercolour sketches
Happy PPF
much love…
On youtube you don’t see live version. But there are lots of videos of these little fellows…
I love those quick sketches! And then adding watercolor to them really added a lot. Either way they are great! I have to ask, are those rare seals really that uhm…big with little heads are is this one just a little overweight? Happy PPF! Hugz, Rasz
‘Pullervo’, the seal, is a baby, that’s why it looks overweight 🙂
Right now it’s not at home but hopefully we’ll see him before end of this month…
Five minutes, WOW I am impressed. Color certainly makes a difference, doesn’t it? Happy PPF
Yes it does! Right now I paint with acrylics…lots of colors! 🙂
5 min Sketches and then watercolor are extraordinary. Good practice. I love the seal . . . and have it bookmarked to watch, thank you. Animals are fascinating. I always wanted to live in a nature center and I am pretty close to that now (just moved from beautiful FL to OK) I read your Bio and am very impressed with what you do and are doing. Blessings, Janet
‘Pullervo’ the seal, hasn’t been in his nest, rock, this morning but hopefully it will return…
You should visit Finland! We have beautiful nature and fresh, clean air!

I love 5 minute sketches and yours are fabulous. I love your photo too.
Thanks Nicole! I get so much love today, what a day!!!
really lovely sketches. Thanks for sharing about the darling seal too. Enjoy Spring and happy PPF!
This morning ‘Pullervo’, the seal, wasn’t in his nest. Maybe it’s diving with his friends…
Love seeing the sketches before and after. You create an awakening:-)
I’m awake anyway! 🙂 (I’m an early bird)
Happy Spring to you! Winter arrives at our doorstep on June 1st.
Nice work on all your sketches….Happy PPF!
I visited your site – your portraits are amazing! Unfortunately I can not comment on your blog because your comment setting do not allow URL/name commenting. snif.
Lovely water colour sketches, happy spring. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
Thanks, now spring feels happy, it’s finally here 🙂
Ihana kevät ja luonnon herääminen:) Hienot työt:)
Kiitos, kevät on suosikkini!
Tuo norppalive on kyllä mielenkiintoinen, aina välillä pysähdyn katsomaan sitä, nautinnollista köllöttelyä kivellä.
Juu, ei koneella malta olla, koska vihdoin kevät!
Komppaan Sirokkoa tyylistäsi, tykkään.
Aurinkoisia päiviä!
Kiitos Susu, just äsken kävin Pullervoa kurkkaamassa mutta kivi oli tyhjä…missä lie nyt sukeltelemassa…
Luonoksessasi on vapaata ja rentoa viivaa on ilo katsella. Vesivärillä viimeistelyssä sama rentous näkyy. Pidän kukkistasi ja tavastasi löytää arkisia aiheita. Onnitelut sarjasta!
Tein sketchit kun istuin terassilla ja väritin kun tulin sisällä käymään… 🙂
Nämä ovat niin aitoja sketchejä ja todella kauniisti vesiväri lähtee pensselistäsi. Tykkään tavastasi tehdä näitä.
Kiitos, näitä oli kiva ja nopea tehdä.
