Traffic

What I think of when you say 'Traffic' - for Illustration Friday

Hortensia

The Britons sure love their hydrangea's (but I prefer the Dutch and French word, hortensia - it somehow sounds more poetic). So no hesitation what I had to draw during my travel in Bretagne.

Sitting on the dock of the bay

I am a bit slow in finishing my Morocco drawings! Here are two old guys sitting in the port of Essaouira, and the gulls.

Vintage bubbles

Vintage bubbles for Illustration Friday

Marine tornado

A tornado scooping everything out of the sea. For Illustration Friday.

Moroccan red mountains pattern

Another look at those Moroccan red mountains. I turned them into a pattern, based on the drawing I made while travelling. Now I only have to decide what to do with it. A fabric for a dress, maybe? Anyway, I put it on Woven Monkey if you'd like to have a piece of it yourself! 

Donkey Parking Lot

From my Morocco sketchbook: the donkey parking lot

Moroccan red mountains

We went to Morocco! In the bus from Agadir to Marrakech, I was struck by the green-dotted red mountains. This is, as always, an interpretation of the landscape, because in reality there were also snow-capped mountains behind these red hills.

Mr & Ms Cow

A spin-off of something I had to do for drawing class. I loved doing them!

Hat

My 'hats' submission for Illustration Friday. Ink again.

Squirrels

Squirrels, squirrels!

Owlspotting

Bijschrift toevoegen

The hats, the pink binoculars, the scene just begged to be drawn. The winter sun had drawn out a crowd in Ghent to the Bourgoyen, one of our few nature spots. A birdwatcher had spotted an owl in the trees and a lot of passers-by stopped to spot it too.

Dunes

Another North Sea sketch/drawing. It was a beautiful sight to see this horse walking through the dunes.

Boat

We spent the end of year holidays at the North Sea coast, which inspired a few landscape drawings in my special landscape sketchbook - more or less true to reality. This one is inspired by the view on the Ostend Casino, turning the casino into a big boat building (there is actually an old hotel somewhere at the Belgian coast that looks like a boat, a bit like this one).

Tropical

My 'Tropical' submission for Illustration Friday is a pattern. I struggled with ink at first because it is less flexible than watercolour, but now it is becoming my friend, especially for the brighter colours...

North Sea Selfie

Between Christmas and New Year at the Belgian Coast.
