Children's book
2 illustrations from a children's book I illustrated this spring.
It's a mix of watercolour, ink, pastel crayons and coloured pencils.

More fruit
Here's another work in progress of some apples in oils using a limited palette. Plus two quick watercolours character concepts for 'Floristen & Grodan'.

Illustrations
Two watercolour illustrations made for my portfolio. Still experimenting, these were made on a sheet of coldpressed paper that I stretch by wetting it and stapling it to a board. I'm going to do the next one on a hotpressed sheet and try to get smoother look/value transitions.
The first is 39x29 cm, the other 18x42.
Arm study
This is another study I did at school. It's about 80 x 30 cm and was my first large painting using oils.
Titanium White, Ivory black and Raw umber on Linen canvas no. 66 From Claessens.

Watercolour
I like to paint with watercolours. These are made on a hot pressed Watercolour Block
from Sennelier that I picked up in Prague during a trip. The outline is made with crow quill pen and ink.

More school work
I finally finished my big cast and I'm moving on to oil painting now!
This one is about 100 x 60 cm, white conté chalk and charcoal on toned paper.
It took over 2 months to complete.

After I finished the big cast I drew this cast to learn to be more efficient. I put in about 30 hours into this one. |
This is a thumbnail for a school assignment with the theme "The witch's Initiation".
I tried to do the final piece in watercolour but failed miserably.

Ink
I found an old school assignment when I was cleaning out our
old studio today. The theme for the assignment was "Age of aquarius".
It was my first try at inks, I used a mix of Sepia and Burnt Sienna
from Rohrer & Klingner on Coldpressed Watercolour Block (140lb) from
Arches.

Stuff from school
This was my second cast in charcoal, at some point the teachers thought I
should trash it and start over because I was struggling too much with the drawing. Now it's probably my favourite. It's Beethoven's death mask. Spooky. |
A mouth cast done in chalk and charcoal on toned paper. The finished version has a smoother gradient in BG, I promise. |
An early stage of a cast sculptor Max Patte made for some movie,
maybe Narnia I don't know. It's really cool though.
This stage is the most critical, if you get this right the rendering
is actually quite easy. |
This guy is huge. *If you're interested in getting a strong foundation in traditional drawing (and painting), I couldn't recommend this school more. |
