Travel sketch pages
Okay so these are not from my actual art journal, but they are done during my vacation in Thailand and Cambodia.I like my art journals to be not too small, so I have a bit of space, but certainly not too large eiter. I need to be able to chuck my journal into my bag and walk around with it, without it being to large or heavy. So 15x21 cm, something along those lines, will be suitable. To challenge...

And I fondly remember that Glory of Love song by Peter Cetera.It will be interesting to see what they do with this new Karate Kid featuring Jackie Chan and "Will Smith J...

Life in Amsterdam
I tend to forget how remarkable it can be for tourists, how we Amsterdammers do most of our traveling through the city by bicycle. Just the other day, I talked about this with a friend who lives in Texas. There, even if you wanted to, its just something you dont do. Not just because of the large distances, but also because of crime. Huh, I have to say Im a happy cycling Amsterdammer, even more now.Although...

Sketchcrawl
Last Saturday, it was Sketchcrawl day. During the global sketchcrawl, groups of sketchers all over the world meet to sketch in public together. Because I was in the South of the Netherlands, I couldnt organize a Sketchcrawl in Amsterdam like I did on the previous sketchcrawl day, but I did go to sunny Maastricht to hook up with about 20 sketchers. We met at the St. Servaes Bridge, which I drew to...

In two weeks, the course participants will learn how to use their coloured pencils for a drawing like this one. If you want,...

Two more journal pages I did during my stay in Maastricht.On Tuesday, I visited the Bonnefanten Museum. Its a great museum, inside and out. I found out about this awesome artist Sol LeWitt. Apparently his work is famous, but I didnt know his work (have I been living somewhere under a rock or something? No not really, bu how cool is it to discover new things, even if theyre not new at all?) I was absolutely...

Travel Journal 5
Wheels.Is it hard to draw bikes or cars? Well, why would it be harder than drawing anything else? When I draw, I look at the shapes and the colours and try not to think about what I am actually drawing. For instance: I draw a rounded shape. Not a wheel.The only problem you could have drawing one of these rides, is that they move. Or you are taking your time to draw a parked vehicle, and then suddenly...

Psych!
Shawn Spencer and Burton "Gus" GusterIm not really a huge follower of crime/murder investigation shows, but while "Psych" could fit in that category, its way different. When I first heard the concept of "a guy with heightened observational skills who pretends to be psychic and starts a detective agency with his friend Gus", I was immediately intrigued.It didnt disappoint, as the hilarious 80s references...
