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.
