Old Curch Number 2

July 31, 2010
Another painting from the Oudekerk in Amsterdam. I finally have time to do these things – and actually without rushing it too much. With this pillar I’m still trying to get a feel for it, before starting more complex parts of the building. This coming Monday a German TV team will film me there for … Continue reading Old Curch Number 2 →

July 9, 2010
Finally I can show all the results of the “Art for Arts Sake” event at Distelweg that I talked about earlier. Nadia organized a collaboration weekend. Nadia, David, Ronald and me were painting together on lots of pieces. It was an interesting surprise to see how much people enjoyed watching the process, even staying there … Continue reading “Art for Arts Sake” Collab Paintings →

Teaching and Managing – it’s not about the data, stupid!

June 30, 2010
The other day if found via the interesting “Seth’s blog” this talk by Eric Mazur about how a teacher found out he sucked at teaching – and how he approached the problem.

There is the All is One festival today (12th of June) … Continue reading Fun Weekend Art Events →

Fabio

June 1, 2010
Another portrait – it got a bit more of the real feel that I am looking for, while still not seeming like a photo. Although the three hour sessions don’t leave me with enough time to measure exactly (leaving some inaccuracies there), they teach me how to work effectively. And it does add a loose … Continue reading Fabio →

Second part of thoughts about how words work - versus how we think they work...

Portrait Month 3: Flip … and a palette

May 22, 2010
This is the last image of the Portrait Month. Can’t wait for next year ;) I thought maybe it is interesting to show my palette for this one – so here is a photo of the state after half an hour. As you can see, I mix all major colors before I start painting. I … Continue reading Portrait Month 3: Flip … and a palette →
