Today i went to the Rijksmuseum with my 15 year old son. We are very lucky to be able to visit several great museums in and around Amsterdam. The Rijksmuseum is my favorite. I really enjoyed being there together, talking about what we love in the museum. Today I saw a number of wonderful statues, catching light at interesting angles. And of course my favorite painting of all (and that’s saying something in a place with several rembrandts, von goghs, Vermeers, well you get the drift): Benares by Marius Bauer. Gets better every time I see it. ❤️

Reminding myself of the very basics, and testing out Procreate brushes

Recently, @Chris Legaspi, @Gimmel Goffe and I had a really interesting conversation and Drawing vs Painting. I’m in the belief that personally, drawing and linework is much more difficult than painting. Where describing form In line is extremely difficult for me because my brain starts drawing my ideas of what I’m looking at, instead of what’s actually going on. As opposed to painting, I’m forced to see edge and value and describe it as such. So what do you guys think? Is line drawing harder or easier than painting in your experience?

Currently struggling with what is on my easel at present. I started a painting and got to a point where I was so dissatisfied I decided it was best to start over completely. Having started again, my result was much stronger than the first attempt but still had some glaring issues that needed to be resolved. This time I decided to make corrections and try to save/build on what was done. Still adjustments and refinements needed to "hit the mark" I wonder at what point do you attempt to salvage something? When to make corrections or decide to start fresh and bear the previous mistakes in mind? Any traditional medium has a layering process that, I think, at some point cannot have corrections added as they are almost impossible to interweave the corrections in without having them stand out as being mismatched from the natural layering process of the rest of the piece. When do you call it quits and start again and when you you try and persevere and save what youve got?
