Preliminary sketch, The White Boat, Delftse Vliet
Pastel/ink on colored paper
24 x 35 cm
made on location, May 2004
95 euros (with pas-par-tout and frame 125)
This is the first work I made of this subject. A small oil of this scene was painted, shortly thereafter, you can see it on my website in the archive section.
Last year I made another oil painting of this boat and surroundings which can be found on my Wet Paintings blog, (spring 2008). Characteristic of this medium is the spontaneity and unfinshed look, creating at the same time a mood and reference for the starting and finishing of the final work.
