Quick sketch

For the first time in many years i have been drawing outside. It was not easy but i hope that, with a bit of practise, i will get better at it. This is a quick sketch made with Ink and Watercolor pencils.

Denmark, July 26 2008

We went to Denmark to check out the space and to talk about the upcoming exhibition. It is a great space in a old presbytery on a small peninsula. There are plans for a Edvard Munch exhibition in the spring of 2009 and my work will hang there during this exhibition.
The owner of the Gallery bought one of my works, a pencil drawing of the Chiwawa and commissioned me to make two pencil drawings of his dogs.

Study Charcoal and White Chalk on colored paper

Today i tried out a (for me) new technique. Charcoal and White Chalk on Colored paper.
I saw a article in "the Artist's Magazine" and wanted to try it for myself. I like the result but need a bit more practice.
I worked with Charcoal pencils on blue paper.

The 3 portraits are finished

The portraits of Hanna, Maria and Magnus are finished! Let it dry, a layer of varnish and of to Norway.

I started right away with my next commission, a portrait of a collie named Sierra. After that there will be another dog commission.

Some of my works (20 to 25 pieces) are going to be on display in a gallery in Denmark.

Tuesday i'm going to pick up my work at the City Hall Almere. My work was on display there for 2 months.
