Herfstblues......

De aarde warmt op
Klimaten veranderen
Economie eist  tol .

Oorlog woedt alom
Schutters schieten in het rond
Mensen worden ziek.

Op de fiets er uit
De seizoenen zijn er nog
Herfst en ik teken.

With the longer light in the evenings it is nice to walk and draw in nature after work .The sunset is always tempting to make a drawing of it , but  it is always playing  hard to get....

2019. the start

However cold and rain is present at this first month of 2019,
there is always an opportunity to go out and draw something!

 The drawing below is made at the entrance of the park called  " Waalbos",
were I do  a lot of walking , birdwatching, and drawing.

The next drawing was made at the Waalbos too.
It's made with brown ink, brush and a reed-pen .




Reed-pens are nice to use, they act a little unpreditable in the way they give the ink to the paper,
above that it was  so cold i wore gloves, but i am happy with the result:

The last drawing in this post was done in the Crezee-polder ,a new reserve. 
It was so utterly cold that I stayed in the car to draw.
Used reed-pen , brush and brown ink again.
