Marlot – 27-04-23 Drawing

Still Freezing Cold This graphite pencil drawing ‘Marlot – 27-04-23’ follows my previous drawing of Park Arentsburgh. This how it goes, walking to and fro. Going from one spot and back again. The amazing thing is it’s still freaking cold, even at King’s Day. It was freezing in some areas in The Netherlands last night. Consequently I still haven’t sketched outdoors yet this year. Amazing, isn’t it? In Spain temperatures hit a scorching 39 degrees Celsius this week. Here we still face a chilling northern wind. When I look at drawings from the past I see I sketched in nature as early as March. However, weather forecasts are in favor of those who want to dwell outside next coming weeks. Hopefully so! Along the Path This having said, still drawing from my stock of reference pictures. This time Marlot was on the menu once more. My last one depicted the old mansion over there. I remembered I had taken some pictures along the canal that ends in some kind of pond in front of it. This drawing is situated a couple of 100 meters to the left, towards The Hague. During corona times I often dwelled there. That was a welcome deviation from my daily drawing and painting activities, not being able to teach in groups. I was caught by the great lighting on a sunny day in May. The tree line in the back actually is the same as in an earlier drawing of 10 years ago.
