It rained and stormed all day. Nobody in his right mind goes outside in this weather unless you really have to, so no bike ride and taking pictures for me!!
I have made a logo for a company a couple of years ago, which had to represent the skyline of the Rotterdam harbor. I took pics of the harbor and draw cranes and later reduced it to a very small format. So as a small consolation (only if you really was looking forward to it.. grin) I've added the crane-logo.
My first watercolor painting ever (4th of March 2011). Saw a photo of a Russian man counting his money after doing groceries on the market. I've left out a lot of details (the other 3 grocerie bags and part of the market). I used a Staedtler pigment liner to draw it and after that started with a wash of the entire page to catch the mood. It felt like an adventure (and still does). He was wearing a hat of astrakan fur and it was difficult to get that texture, I've made an attempt though!!

I am still busy on the "Kenia" painting. The background is finished. But am in doubt of how I will paint the people - pastel or bright?? My brother says I should only draw the people in pencil, because their mind is empty of the killing around them, so they feel and look like ghosts - colorless .... that's not a bad argumentation at all! Haven't decided yet.....
