Drawing trees again today with Katsia in Het Twiske. Maybe not as many as I’d hoped for, but hey. Available now, by the way, as a print from Etsy.
Twiske trees
Sketchbook weeds
Sketchbook pages of weeds and plants at the back. I’ve been trying to get more out of the ballpoint pen, painting with the isopropanol. It goes right through the paper and sometimes looks better. The one on the left here is made that way.

Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam
Two ink sketches at Amsterdam’s Hortus Botanicus today.
Cyanotype painting
Another cyanotype experiment. This time I tried painting something with the cyanotype solution itself.
On the first version, the plant faded to a grey-blue over a few days. Maybe it wasn’t out in the sun long enough. But the two dark blue ones look better—they each got a ton of sun.
