Noordwijk Art III – Poppy Field Painting

July 20, 2012
A new oil painting of the Noordwijk poppy fields. I sold it at the painting festival there...

Noordwijk Festival II – Poppy Flowers

July 9, 2012
Alla Prima Painting
Some more pictures from the Nordwijk Festival. This is the second painting I did outside there. Was kinda funny how it made all passersby shout “klaprozen” (Dutch for poppies) – I’ve heard the word 50 times that day. So named the picture this way. The original is sold, but I have various sizes of poster … Continue reading Noordwijk Festival II – Poppy Flowers →

Noordwijk Painting Festival Recap I

July 2, 2012
Noordwijk Schilder Festival
14 days ago I’ve spent all week at the Noordwijk Painting Festival – getting up, painting, falling to sleep. Here are the first resulsts – more will come in the following two postings. I can really recommend this festival – the quality of the artists was very high. So a great opportunity to learn. It … Continue reading Noordwijk Painting Festival Recap I →

Portrait Mashup – Step Two

June 10, 2012
Here is another work-in-progress of the portrait mashup I did at the Portrait Month. That one is over now sadly – still want to finish the image though (see first step here). So maybe one or two portraits will still come. But the next event is planned: I’ll be at the Noordwijk Painting Festival – … Continue reading Portrait Mashup – Step Two →

Make Good Art!

May 29, 2012
Wonderful life advice by Neil Gaiman. He is a writer (of comics like “The Sandman”), but all applies fully to any other artist… and beyond. Including some practical freelance-tips. A must see.

Portrait Mashup WIP

May 26, 2012
The second week of the portrait month is on. Painting people for three days in a row really taught me a lot, I should do it more often – else its really just walking in shallow waters. Anyways, here is a work in progress – planning to have two or three more faces on this … Continue reading Portrait Mashup WIP →

I’ve Been Doing it Wrong my Entire Life!

May 22, 2012
There are these little things one learns sometimes, that will affect every day from then on. Little, but powerful. And I think I just came across one of those bits of information: The one piece flow. Before I write a bit about it, check snappy introduction by Eric Ries. It’s in the middle of a … Continue reading I’ve Been Doing it Wrong my Entire Life! →

Elise

May 17, 2012
A new portrait of a friend. And just delivered to the gallery for the Portrait Month exhibition, that will start tomorrow. It’s done in what is now my new studio – I love the diffuse light, even if it makes it all a bit tougher. So there is more to come from that place. And … Continue reading Elise →

Octohero!

May 9, 2012
A pastel drawing from a recent sketch-session in Berlin: May it please our new eight-legged overlord! To whom this was a homage to. I’m all serious! If the octopus from this clip is not the most heroic creature that ever walketh the earth… …. and did you know they have brains in each of their … Continue reading Octohero! →
