Experimenting with abstract forms #drawingisfree as always with great music

It was a fun intimate session, with good music 😁 Nice to have a speed sketch option om Wednesdays as well!

Ik kom maar niet toe aan dat fotoalbum.
Te veel foto's, te veel keuzes, apps helpen niet, saai in m’n eentje
Herkenbaar?
Babyboek?Kunstboek? Eindexamenkado?
Ik start een online clubje: 30 dagen samen werken aan je album.
€29 voor Zoom, tips en motivatie.
Meedoen? Stuur me een berichtje.

As if trying to speed sketch portraits in 3-5 minutes isn't enough of a challenge... I tried speed collaging at today's #drawingisfree 😅 what do you think?

And as always, thanks so much to Chloe and all the beautiful models

Quick portraits from today's #pencils4tea session. I loooved the playlist. Gave myself an extra challenge... Speed painting... I did not always have enough time to finish the portrait mix colors or wash brushes, but it was a great way to start the evening with you all ❤️

Even if I can only drop in for a few faces it's worth it, thank you Chloe #drawingisfree

Back after a few weeks — jumped into today’s #pencils4tea and brought out my clunky crayons and paint sticks.
There’s something about using toddler tools that makes it all feel looser, freer, more fun.
Thanks to everyone who posed + hosted. Just what I needed.

How cool is that? To be able to take your art with you. I made tote bags from 2 of my favo paintings, you can see the result in my shop :-)

@csteichenart.bsky.social Oh that was you, yesterday? Nice to see your face, I made a frame around it in your honour ;-)

Beautiful pose in today's #drawingisfree. Hooray for the first sunny days of spring. Thank you Chloe for organizing this, for 5 years already!

Some Sunday puzzle fun: can you match the titles to the art? Share your answers in the comments!

Every title in my work adds to a story — about identity, belonging, becoming. A title can explain… or make you look again

Studio night with @nicholaswilton and many inspired artists, so good to feel the energy of #CVP again #livinglifeincolor

I thought Bluesky would take me far and wide—but it led me to connect around the corner. Had a great time meeting @kunstvoorjekop.bsky.social in Aalsmeer, chatting art, admiring her beautiful work, and learning about kleiplaten – a magical surface to create on. #artfriends #dutchartists

This was just a piece of wood I used to wipe of extra paint. But then I looked at it and I liked it... Just the way it was.

❤️ Send this to someone who needs to hear this today

It was nice to put a face to some of the people I got to know here....looking at you @m-rk.bsky.social ;-) #pencils4tea

Experimenting cross posting...So Happy I found #drawingisfree and #pencils4tea - we might be drawing faces, but what we find is connection #connection #portraits

We grow through the hands that guide us and the eyes that recognize us #feelingseen #growingup #belonging #artwork

Another speed sketching #portrait session with #pencils4tea. The beauty of drawing people is you truly get to look at someone - and then hope to capture some of their essence

A new look

Now that I am into #speedsketching #portraits I cannot stop ... Found this doodle app for my phone so I can sketch with my finger while on the subway..less obvious and awkward than my little sketchbook and pencil 😅 any other finger sketchers over here?

Ran out of Titanium White! Did you know the filled square means it's opaque? Great for vibrant layers like this light blue over darker red. Zinc White's empty square signals transparency. How many whites do you own & what's your favorite? #ArtTips #PaintingProcess #TitaniumWhite #ZincWhite
