Drawing in Wormerveer of a plant I bought in Osdorp.
Plant from Osdorp
Zwarteweg
Zwarteweg in Heemskerk, where there are almost actual hills. Steady now. Anyway, I loved drawing this one. At first sight it’s just this mass of featureless green. Nothing to really grab on to. But the more you look, the more it reveals itself. All those lines, all this wild stuff going on. It’s such a tickly thing to put your eyes through.
Bluegrass
This painting is a close-up of a piece of ground I found in the sand-dunes at Heemskerk, painted (mostly) in Asa Blue fountain pen ink.
Hemkade
Sketch of Hemkade—Amsterdam’s industrial north west, seen from across the North Sea Canal at Zaandam. Drawn in grey ink, charcoal, gel pen and coloured pencil.
Kalverpolder closeup
Close up view on a bit of the Kalverpolder (near the Zaanse Schans). Made with grey ink, pencil coloured (grey) pencil, charcoal and silver crayon.
Twiske in May
Drawing from the Twiske (near Amsterdam) on a really hot day. Drawn with a bamboo stick, crayon, fountain pen, coloured pencil and my fingertip.
Two Twiske trees
Two trees I saw in ‘T Twiske (which is near Amsterdam). This is drawn into Photoshop, based on a photo I took on my phone.
Somewhere in Utrecht
Ink and pencil from somewhere in Utrecht.
