CHICKEN

3/2/2021

I've always wanted to draw a chicken but nothing ever came of it. Finally, last week, I spent the whole day drawing this huge black-and-white chicken in my Moleskine sketchbook, ànd doing the lettering. Now I'm figuring out what I will draw on the opposite page. I've already got some ideas!

S.O.S BEES

12/12/2019

0 Comments

 

The honey bee, the bumblebee, the butterflies and other pollinating insects are in danger. Some species have already disappeared never to return. Fewer pollinating insects will effect us more than we imagine right now, also in our daily economy. So it's best for all of us if there are more uncultivated places for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. I try to apply this in our own garden. It's a start if everyone with a garden should do the same! This  quote of Albert Einstein says a great deal about what we know now and shows what a visionary he was!

IF THE BEE DISAPPEARED OFF THE SURFACE OF THE GLOBE

THEN MAN WOULD ONLY HAVE FOUR YEARS OF LIFE LEFT.

NO MORE BEES, NO MORE POLLINATION, NO MORE PLANTS,

NO MORE ANIMALS, NO MORE MAN.

A few weeks ago I was blessed with a group of enthusiastic students for a colored pencil workshop. A butterfly is, of course, a rewarding topic for study and spring is the perfect time of the year to do this.  It's been two most enjoyable days where everyone learned about the different types of pencils, best papers to work on and best techniques to draw a photo-realistic butterfly. Using colored pencils is much more than just coloring, it's building up layer by layer and I'm sure that every student in the class can agree with me that working with colored pencils helps to create a feeling of calmness and Zen!

I love butterflies and I never get tired of painting them. Here's two details of a concertinabook I made in 2009.

Watercolor painting of a twig of eucalyptus, with credits to Lupen Grainne who's photo I was allowed to use as a reference: thank you Lupen! I love the greyish color of the leaves with the bright red branches.

Aquarel van een takje eucalyptus, met dank aan Lupen Grainne voor het gebruik van haar foto als referentie: dankjewel Lupen! Ik hou heel erg van de grijzig groene kleur van de bladeren samen met de felrode steeltjes.

TINY NATURE

De natuur blijft me inspireren!
Voor de zomer schilderde ik deze drie gele kevertjes. Het contrast tussen geel en zwart vind ik erg interessant. Het schilderen van zo'n kleine schepseltjes is heel intens. Ik ben er passioneel mee bezig en het geeft een goed gevoel als er weer een schilderijtje af is! 
Nature keeps inspiring me! 
​
Before summer I painted these three yellow beetles. I've really been enjoying the contrast of yellow and black. To paint such tiny creatures is an intense job and it requires great dedication and passion but it is very rewarding!
