I painted this during the last two days of the summer course. It is based on a painting by Mark Tennant. He uses the same techniques as the Old Masters, but with a modern twist. The summer course was great fun. It helped me rediscover my love of oil painting […] [Original post on pixey.org]

So I did a summer course oil painting. Techniques from old masters. Our teacher is showing how to do it. Mostly I found just copying a bit awkward, but obviously it's a great way to learn. The painting is after an Vermeer. #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #oilpainting

I thought I’d find it easy to sketch people outside at the spa. But even here, they don’t really sit still. 😆 #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #brushpen #sanadome

She’ll be turning sixty in a week’s time – my good friend, whom I’ve known since our days at university. I’ve drawn her a picture based on a photo from back then as a present. We were so young back then. #drawing #pencildrawing #mastoart

A pencil drawing of a young woman. She is sitting on a stool looking over her shoulder towards the viewer. In her she is holding a white fluffy toy animal.

I want to focus more on drawing people. So I started with a photo in a magazine on books. "Read books", she said. 😉 #dailysketching #sketch #markerpendrawing #ecoline

Beach find. At first, when I saw this at the water’s edge, I thought it was a hardened dog poo. But it was hollow inside and twisted like a shell. Yet if this is a shell, it doesn’t have a smooth surface; instead, it’s strangely crumbly and porous. Is there a shell […] [Original post on pixey.org]

Saying goodbye to our beach hut. The black-headed gull stayed still just long enough for me to sketch it. #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #watercolor #pleinair #zeeland #zeeuwsvlaanderen #endofholiday

I really want to improve my watercolour technique. The green of the bushes, in particular, is still a bit of a struggle. Perhaps I don’t have the right colours on my palette. Groede Beach viewpoint. #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #watercolor #mastoart #zeeuwsvlaanderen #zeeland

The heat was driven away by dark clouds and a thunderstorm; fortunately, the shower was out at sea. Lighthouse near Breskens. #sketch #dailysketch #drawing #mastoart #aquarelle #zeeland #zeeuwsvlaanderen

I thought the dune with marram grass ( helmgras) would be tricky, but I found that big ship harder to draw. It’s sailing across the Westerschelde towards Antwerp. #sketch #dailysketch #drawing #aquarelle #zeeuwsvlaanderen #zeeland #kust

This is the second one I made as a study in black and white, also for my portfolio. It's after a intriguing photograph by Eva Besnyo. #artstudy #acrylicpainting #mastoart #imadethis

Still too cold to sit outside for our urban sketching evening, so we went to the local liberary. I want to practice myselve in sketching people; she was a good model, tough I didn't ask permision. Should I have to, do you think? #urbansketching #linedrawing #brushpen #mastoart
