Palette of colours

Love this palette of colours (I save these scraps of paper too...), I added another layer to this still-life.

A sweater, some shoes and...

In between fruit harvesting I am finding time to make some drawings by following a course by Alisa Burke. This time the idea is to draw your wardrobe, so I first drew this with pen:

And then in with watercolour:

I would not have thought about drawing my wardrobe, but when you start it seems to come easily, and the result is more fun than I expected :). Maybe I'll add some coloured pencil to it.

Creative teaching

Today it was time for some drawing exercises on request, a custom lesson to stimulate creativity, to look at new ideas and to fill sketchbooks. Very nice to teach young children again :).

I have read a lot about creativity and what it does for your personal development, there are many important benefits. One of them: when you stimulate (by doing) the creativity in your brain, you learn to see more solutions. This can help children a lot in their thinking. 

Going places

I am a biker, I bike a lot. It is probably easier when you work in your own village :), but taking groceries with you on your bike is more of a challenge :(. So I have two waterproof bike-packs and they can take a lot.

But my bike is also there to go out for inspiration, along those lovely bike-trails we have here. The weather may be a challenge sometimes, so I keep my eye on the forecast.

Here I go!

Holiday mode

Wild flower meadows, sun, trees, ocre grasses... holiday mode is on...
