Drawing of Noud, who was at the Creatievelingen samenwerkingen meetup last night in Leeuwarden. A really quick drawing.

Lunch at Stania State today
Sketch over a bite to eat at Stania State in North Friesland today. Nice.
St Jacobiparochie
Sketch of St Jacobiparochie from Oudebildtdijk. This is the view from the front of my house. Drawn and painted in ink, pencil, colour pencil, graphite, and gel pen.
My back garden this morning
My back garden this morning, as seen from the kitchen. Drawn in ink, pencil, colour pencil, gel pen, charcoal, and crayon (yes, crayon).
Sketches at NDSM
Two drawings at NDSM yesterday. Testing out a new sketchbook with Katsia.
Sketching at NDSM
Sketching at NDSM on Saturday with the Amsterdam Urban Sketchers. I realised just how rusty I’ve got at sketching. When I lived in Amsterdam, I wouldn’t think twice about whipping the sketchbook out.
Oudebildtdijk
A print of Westhoek at 15×7″ on its way from Etsy to Alicia in Washington. (Thank you Alicia.) Printed on 230gsm Olmec fine art paper by King of Herrings @kingherrings.
Painted in ink, plus pencil and black biro. This is the view of the Oudebildtdijk from the sea dike at Westhoek. No one who isn’t Dutch can actually pronounce “Oudebildtdijk”. It’s impossible. But apparently it’s the longest street in the Netherlands, and where I live.
Plants and trees
A collection of drawings on Behance
Ballpoint pen portraits
I’ve wanted to draw something with a Bic biro for ages—that indigo blue kills me. Then I found that spraying a bit of isopropanol makes the ink run, and you get this great watery effect. (Though it seems to be only the magenta pigment that runs. The cyan doesn’t seem to run much).
Drawn on 300g brilliant white Clairalfa inkjet paper.
The Bob Mortimer was the first I tried this way. It looks OK… but there are probably too many lines going on.
Larry on the job
Portrait of Larry King hard at it.
