"van de prins", ecoline op schetspaier Fabriano
op de front pagina van het weekblad "Primo" van deze week vond ik een aangrijpend beeld:
bewerkt met ecoline op schetspapier, penseel: sleper (dat is fun)!
voor het eerst gebruikte ik een "kompas" naar een voorbeeld uit de zeventiende eeuw om enkele afstanden na te meten, ...
het is een onmisbaar instrument voor een karikatuur
voor mijn (nu reeds ) drie fans!
alle gelijkenis is toevallig ... ;-)

What 's in our brain?
"Many people believe that color is a defining and essential property of objects, one depending entirely on the specific wavelengths of light reflected from them. But this belief is mistaken. Color is a sensation created in the brain. If the colors we perceived depended only on the wavelength of reflected light, an object's color would appear to change dramatically with variations in illumination throughout the day and in shadows. Instead patterns of activity in the brain render an object's color relatively stable despite changes in its environment."

One can perfectly draw with a sate-stick cutting the point, it's more fun than any pen.
Will take some photographs of it.

Hooghuys Doel
Klikit.
This fine 17th Century "Hooghuys" at Doel (Antwerp, Belgium) will most certainly disappear in the near future.
Techniques are available to transport it integrally to a new site in Antwerp. Who takes the initiative?
There are serious indications that is was formerly in the property of the Brant family and by inheritance later on it was owned by our famous baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens.
A juwel!
Will follow it.
