Portrait sketch

 The first outlines of a small portrait sketch, I just used a coloured pencil and a corner of my sketchbook. Following lines and looking for the right dimensions. An accessory or scarf always gives character to a drawing (and a person :)). Have a nice week!

Small holiday-gift

With the small sketchbooks I ordered last week I made some small gift-packages. Handy and nice to give as a present for the summer holiday. It includes a Talens sketchbook, a black Sharpie-pen, some pictures as inspiration, and a leaflet with ideas to just start using this sketchbook. Sketch every day, even if it is for 5 minutes. They are available in pink, green, blue, silver and white. I sell them in my studio, but contact me if you are interested. Have a nice week!

Magnolia

 This is the new work I have been making, small art. Inspired by our magnolia tree which was in full bloom some weeks ago. It is a beautiful sight. I made a base with acrylic paint and then added more depth with coloured pencils. You can find the finished pieces in my ETSY-shop and studio (sorry SOLD!).



This is our magnolia tree just before the flowers were opening.

New stock

 These sketchbooks by Talens are very handy, so I bought some stock for myself but also for some gift-packages I am making. In the meantime I have been making some new work and it involved acrylic paint and colourpencils :). Soon to be found in my ETSY-shop.

Looking at windows

My eyes are on windows, European windows, what differences are there between the countries? Well a lot... and it is fun to figure them out.

This cabin in the mountains chose a bright blue for their shutters, and well... I like it, against the brown, white and greens.

I hope you have a nice week, maybe you spot some windows as well!
