Twiske trees

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.

Somewhere else in Firdgum tonight

Another ink sketch from around Friesland. Also near where I live. Same great Belarusian ink as last time, but different paper.

Somewhere in Firdgum tonight

    Early evening, early summer trees from near where I live.

    Sometimes, just getting a new bottle of ink is like having a new car to drive around in, or a new instrument to play. This is some nice black ink from Belarus that my friend Katsia kindly gave me.

    Just as it seems

    The Frisian landscape as it doesn’t officially look.

    Westerpark yesterday

    Ink painting of Westerpark in Amsterdam, yesterday. Painted in Cobalt Blue fountain pen ink by Graf von Faber-Castell—my favourite ink ever. Available as a print here.

    ‘Barked Once’ is from ‘Derek Bacon’. 

    I’m originally from Bedfont, near Heathrow, but I now live in a really quiet part of the Netherlands. I’ve also lived in Poole, Madrid, Jakarta and Amsterdam.

    The pictures are made in a few different ways. Some of the illustration work is drawn digitally, but I also love working in ink and pencils, especially if I’m doing people. Sometimes the pictures end up being a mix of things.

    To commission an illustration, or anything else you’d like to ask about, feel free to get in touch.

    Cheerio,
    derek
