  1. Het 'Pluismeer' is a forest pond near Lage Vuursche, a small village and nature reserve in the province Utrecht in The Netherlands.

    It was a cloudy autumday when I was hiking with my cousins when I took this picture.

    I tried to capture the misty, gloomy atmosphere that was in the reference photo.

    On this hot, mid summer june day it's hard to imagine that it can be this dark and gloomy outside..

  3. I've never drawn the same picture twice, but this week’s #PortraitChallenge became an exception.

    Picture 1: new sketchbook anxiety. I spent ages trying to get the proportions right, then got too scared to continue with colour.

    Picture 2: started over, worried less about proportions and focused on colour. I disliked it and kept adding more art supplies. Extremely mixed media 😅

  5. Weekend painting!

    Once a month I come together with #creative people to be.... creative.
    Yesterday we had such a meeting and I made this #painting resembling an autumn tree. Other people were knitting or doing other creative things.

    It is always 'gezellig' as we say in dutch!

  9. This one is based on the #sketch I made of the tree on a cliff.

    I felt like I wanted to try something different, to make it a harmonious, soft and light looking piece, with different colours than the natural ones I use most of the time.

    Also I used #Canson mi-teintes paper instead of the course #U-art 500 that I use often, to amplify the soft and #atmospheric feel.

  10. Last two weeks I've been working on this painting thatnis approx. 30 x 45 cm. It was sunny the morning that I took the picture, brightening up the leafs in amazing autumnal colors!

    Things I've learned from painting this one: Blurring edges in the distance more effectively
    To not have strong value contrasts in the peripheral areas of the painting.
    Maybe I failed at the left tree regarding the second point. It doesn't bother me too much though.

  11. Pastel bat drawings I made in 2017 based on Merlin Tuttle's photography. Here's where I learned I don't like drawing the same exact picture more than once. I had to do two of everything for my design project. #bats #wildlife #NatureIllustration #ArtistsOnMastodon #SoftPastel #IndigenousCreatives

  14. "...𝓪 𝓕𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓪𝓼𝔂 𝓐𝔃𝓽𝓮𝓬 𝓦𝓪𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓸𝓻 "

    Once upon a time, a long time ago....
    I fought for my beliefs and my rights.
    No one ever had the right to judge, because it was my own destiny and my own battlefield...

  15. A pastel drawing I was working on in 2011. Unfortunately, a janitor threw it in the trash when my husband forgot it on his desk at work. I lost another piece, too: a pastel drawing of a raven. Both were commissioned pieces. I was so demoralized by this that I didn't touch pastels again for a few years. #pastels #SoftPastel #ArtistsOnMastodon #jellyfish

  16. Cumulonimbus
    Pastel on coated pastel paper, 24x16cm

    This little painting depicts a landscape I was so lucky to capture at Oeschinsee, Switzerland.
    For this picture I used chiefly my own production of pastels, made from pastel dust and broken pastels.
    Let me know if you are curious about the process.

  17. 'Green Hazelnuts on a Contorted Branch' has just been completed in soft pastels. The model is a shrub from my own garden. I planted it several years ago and really love the twists and turns taken by the branches as they grow.

    Sailboat, I was mesmerized by the pinkish cloud behind the tree.
