Ink, reed pen/twigs

Life drawing and painting, focused on quick sketches with ink and reed pen/twigs. The charm of this technique is that compared to drawing with a fountain pen, one has far less control over the flow of the ink, leading to a broad variation in the thickness of lines and also the occasional blob of ink. Ink on paper. Portret & model-tekenen/schilderen, gericht op snelle schetsen met inkt en rietpen/twijgen.

Mailbox and Autumn Leaves

Dutch mailboxes are orange nowadays and blend in nicely with autumn colours. Quick and rough sketch of a scene in Heerlen. Ink pen, wax pastel on grained paper (21 x 21 cm). Also shown is a quick contour/continuous line drawing I did as a study on the leaflet of a local museum (Bonnefanten Museum Maastricht). It coincidentally got an autumny feel as well through the colours on the leaflet. Brievenbus en herfstbladeren. De oranje brievenbussen van PostNL passen mooi bij de herfstkleuren. Snelle schets van een Heerlens stadsgezicht met inktpen en waspastels.
