I was experimenting with a lot of things in Marieke Kampermans’ course “Discover your own style”. I also decided to try out some new things with my semi pouring style. The “yoghurt style” that I use to create from my greatgrantfathers’ sketches is quite versatile. Making a building was a test to see if I could create not just extremely fine lines, but also something that would be recognisable as a building. If someone would recognise the characteristic white lighthouse from Schiermonnikoog, that would be even more wonderful. 

Another beatiful sketch from my greatgrandfather. This dune landscape definetely belongs to the “Erfgoed van de kust”, the “Heritage from the coast”, series. The series is a mixture of his sketches and my childhood memories. I’ve never been to the island, and would love to visit soon to see how his old sketches and my rendition fit into the current landscape

The View of the Southern Lighthouse and the rest of the series can be seen in Utrecht througout the month of April in Utrecht
