  I was doing quick portrait drawings over the weekend at the local art event space/pub. All of the drawings yesterday were done from people on the street and they took their pictures home. Today, everyone at the space dressed up with medieval clothes and the volunteers and waitresses were sitting mostly. So I was able to at least take some pictures :D I had fun drawing. #drawing #charcoaldrawing #portraitdrawing #portrait #art #imadethis #kunst #mastoart #fediart

  Been headhunting again today. I was distracted by how shiny the model’s skin was maybe I should have painted it even shinier. Other than that, form, light all that stuff. I don’t think I enjoy black backgrounds very much anymore. Also, the paint sinks in really fast. #portrait #portraitpainting #painting #oilpainting #allaprima #art #imadethis #mastoart #fediart

  Today I went to the sandbank near Kootwijk. There was a viewing tower that was quite high above ground and I decided to paint from up there. I actually have some fear of heights so this was pretty nerve wracking. Also had to paint with the panel in the shadow all the time so the colours came put a bit funky. But i got it done and I was facing my fears at least. #landscape #landscapepainting #oilpainting #allaprima #pleinair #painting #art #kunst #imadethis #mastoart #fediart

  Very enjoyable painting session today. Of course over the course of one sitting, there is loads I’d love to have done better. However, i believe there are some parts of it, color and edge treatment, that I find alright. #portraits #portraitpainting #painting #oilpainting #art #imadethis #mastoart #fediart #kunst #schilderen

  Been using the “daluren vrij” ticket to go to Amsterdam today. I went and painted for 10 hours straight, which is a bat ridiculous. But I got a relatively big painting done so that’s good. The place I chose to paint is the small Sint Annenstraat. #Amsterdam #cityscape #landscapepainting #painting #oilpainting #allaprima #pleinair #kunst #art #mastoart #fediart

  Today at the portrait I tried to make simpler statements and not go with transitions. Normally I go towards transitions and more details at some point but I tried to hold myself back, trying to optimize my shapes instead. It didn’t go very well yet I think. I will look at some masters that do those better and maybe make better decisions with the next one. I really want to learn this #portraitpainting #painting #oilpainting #mastoart #fediart #allaprima

  I have painted these Dahlias. It was a challenge to get all of these leaves and such on the panel but I think I managed in the end. During the whole process, there was a chicken constantly trying eat my yellow ochre. #oilpainting #Flowerpainting #painting #pleinair #art #kunst #mastoart #fediart

  Did a outdoorsy portrait the other day, I am pleased with some of the colors, trying to evoke the light summer feeling of impressionist portraits. The sitter liked it too. #portrait #portraitpainting #painting #oilpainting #impressionism #allaprima #art #kunst #MastoArt #fediart

  Painting the portrait at Dekaai again. It was raining pretty badly which is fine for the painting. But I didn’t bring any raincoat or even a jacket or something so it was quite cold. Either way, the model chose my painting again which today was fine since I didn’t really want to carry it home through the rain. #Oilpainting #painting #portraitpainting #kunst #art #mastoart #fediart

  Trying my luck with sunlit trees again. I am happy with the sporadic markings. Though most of the time was spend deleting details that were distracting/disruptive. It’s still a daunting and impossible subject to paint. I think I should have painted a tree more up close. It’s an improvement though. #landscapepainting #painting #oilpainting #allaprima #pleinair #art #kunst #wodanseiken #mastoart #fediart

  I tried to see if I could tackle this extremely difficult subject. Used a lot of (for me) new techniques, tried out different ways to handle knife and brush to get the marks to create the sort of noise I required. Don’t know if I am happy with the result but I did make a painting I guess. #landscapepainting #meadow #oilpainting #pleinair #painting #art #kunst #mastoart #fediart #allaprima

  Today I went to paint the sunday portrait again after intensely painting landscapes for a week. The sitter was a 16 year old girl but even then, they did a good job sitting still enough. I gave up painting the background halfway through. #portraitpainting #painting #oilpainting #art #kunst #dekaai #mastoart #fediart

  Not much to say about this one. I went by this place the other day and thought to myself that I wanted to paint it. So I did. #oilpainting #painting #landscapepainting #landschap #schilderij #schilderkunst #allaprima #dumpster #kunst #art #mastoart #fediart

  Today I felt somewhat sluggish and went to paint some water lilies. There was a windmill nearby that was famously painted by Monet once, which is probably why they planted those lilies there. Well, I tried something, not entirely sure if successful but i did push myself, there’s that. #painting #oilpainting #waterlilies #pleinair #art #kunst #mastoart #fediart

  A bit of a quick sketch of the side of a medieval castle in Germany (Schloss Burg). The view would have been nice way further out but I had only the parking lot to look at it. Happy about the colors though and some shape choices. #oilpainting #allaprima #pleinair #painting #drawing #schloss #art #kunst #mastoart #fediart #pleinapril

  I have been trying to quickly capture my father’s living room. Happy with how parts turned out, though it’s hard to get a cohesive composition with so many part in it. Also, the glare is quite brutal so it photographed quite poorly. Anyways, I don’t paint lots of interiors, wanted to try it. #interiors #oilpainting #painting #livingroom #allaprima #pleinair #art #mastoart #fediart #kunst #Schilderij

  Today I have been painting at the river again, it’s nice over there and I have been holed up for a bit too long I feel. It’s good to paint outside again. #pleinairpainting #pleinair #landscapepainting #landscape #atmosphere #oilpainting #painting #art #kunst #allaprimapainting #allaprima
