Some more abstract landscapes in my sketchbook
Today I have to share some more abstract landscapes which I drew from Mapcrunch. Abstracting from photographs is quite hard compared to drawing directly on location, but of course it’s much easier to realies. And it is a lot of fun!

It’s been a while that I shared pages from my Sketchbook
I’m sharing two of my latest sketchbook pages today. I am filling these Royal Talens books in such a rush that I often don’t find the time to take good photos, to share them on social media or even to write a blog post.

Cute Owl Drawing with Paul Rubens Oil-Pastels
In today’s video I have a closer look at the brand new Paul Rubens Oil Pastels HaiYa. I have you to tell in advance, that I am not an oil pastel artist! I love mixed media and I use oil pastels in my sketchbook to add some accents or for mark making in my art journal. In this video I’m going to make an owl sketch with the pastels. They are super creamy, go down very smoothly and blend really nicely.
