Aquarellist Collective Exhibition – Part I

Busy last month: Indie game presentation, Vacation in Vienna, first lecture at the NHL University and the exhibition in the Gallery Berkendijke in Beek en Donk. The last one alone will make for three updates here, so I’ll start with that. The exhibition was organized by the “Aquarellist Collective” – a group of water color artists.

The location was beautiful – a proper farm-house with lots of animals around. I wish I would have taken more pictures. And inside was the gallery, which was really nicely arranged. The lighting was excellent – rivaling museums.

  1. Looks good! I love the portraits you did of the people too, especially the last one looks amazing. How long did those take you?

      Thanks. I always try to finish each portrait in 20 minutes. It’s working better with each event – even if there is half a year between them.

      Should’ve done more in the sun – I like the effect it has on the first one.
