art class 12


Art class, watercolour wet in wet after a live model. I was surprised to find that these splashes of colour really looked like the guy. Some kick. Schildercursus, vanmorgen, aquarel nat-in-nat, naar een echt, levend model.

Nice, Rene- looks like you're having lots of fun in that art class- lucky you!

Yes it is. It's really fun and also thrilling to notice the progress. I don't know if you have the chance, but if you do, you should try it.

Jan, thank you for the unexpected comment on the post of my late father in law. I was glad to hear you are in good health, and although we never met, my father in law did tell about you in warm words. We did send an orbituary ( I am not sure I used the correct word, an official notification), but I guess we used the wrong adress.
My mother in law will dine with us this afternoon, I will write you on the email adress you mentioned.
Thanks for visiting, Rene

I have been enjoying your reports on art class - I take some pride in having a good eye for good work and am appreciating your sketches and the talent behind them. I like the free-style watercolours especially - lots of spontaneity and, interesting, how one can capture the essence of a subject with such a quick and spontaneous brush stroke. I look forward to hearing about your dinner meeting with your mother in law - I am still hunting for more information about my mother's family and wonder if your wife may have more information about the Abbink connection. Anyway, it is exciting to connect. Regards
Jan
