Ink & mixed media techniques

Quick sketches with ink and reed pen/twigs and the addition of mixed media techniques. In the upper sketch I used watercolour in combination with wax resist technique. In the lower sketch an overlay of rice paper drenched in watercolour; the rice paper turned out less transparant than I had expected. Perhaps I'll rework it at a later date. Ink, rice paper, watercolour, wax on paper. Snelle schetsen met inkt in combinatie met gemengde technieken.

Ink & Expression

Life drawing and painting, quick sketches with ink and reed pen/twigs and some occasional finger smudging. My aim was to gradually achieve a higher level of expression and abstraction. Ink on paper. Portret & model-tekenen/schilderen, snelle schetsen met inkt en rietpen/twijgen, zo nu en dan aangevuld met wat "smeerwerk".

Ink and watercolour, wax resist technique

Life drawing and painting, again focused on quick sketches with ink and reed pen/twigs, this time with the addition of watercolour in combination with wax resist technique. Ink, watercolour and wax on paper. Model: Ron. Portret & model-tekenen/schilderen, gericht op snelle schetsen met inkt en rietpen/twijgen, aangevuld met aquarel in combinatie met was (wax resist gemengde techniek).

Abstracted Flowers

Painting holiday in the Morvan, day 1: Abstracted flower sketching and painting using mixed media techniques, focused on the essence of form and avoiding the suggestion of depth

We started out with a series of ink and watercolour sketches in combination with wax resist technique and then switched to painting from memory with a palet knife and line stamping technique. Mixed media, ink and watercolour in combination with wax resist technique on grained paper/Acrylic on canvas board (30 x 30 cm). Geabstraheerd schetsen en schilderen van een bloem gericht op de essentie van de vorm en met vermijding van dieptewerking met gebruikmaking van gemengde technieken (wax resist, lijnstempeltechniek).
