Stedelijk Museum Schiedam
This colored pencil drawing ‘Schiedam 09-10-20 (Sold)’ shows my impressionistic view on the city. In 2018 I was visiting the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam with my parents. We saw the exhibition of art works by Jan Henderikse, a representative of the Dutch Zero group. Always a pleasure to be in Schiedam and especially in this museum. It is well renowned for its modern art. The old centre is a secret gem hidden amidst the urban area of Rotterdam. So now you are notified in case you want to pay it a visit.
Oude Sluis
Near the museum at the Oude Sluis there is the Old Library of Schiedam (now De Korenbeurs). Back in 2016 I drew it fort he first time. Further down the road at the corner of the Nieuwe Sluisstraat and the Schie there is this lovely view. It extends across the canal towards the ‘Zakkendragershuisje’. Upon my word, the scene couldn’t be more dutch than this, except for windmills. This week there was a lot of rain. Consequently all my ambitions to go sketching outdoors went down the drain again. So I used a picture I took when visiting the museum.
Water Reflections
Water reflections are always rewarding because the main motif (houses in this case) is doubled and therefor water is suggested. Who understands this cryptic description can depict water. I was quite fond of my pinks and purples in my previouw drawing ‘Beek-Ubbergen – 01-10-20’. Why not using them once again? The squares and rectangles of houses were much more difficult to capture with my hatched strokes technique. It is almost impossible to draw windows and rabbets but this forced me to abstract the view impressionistically. Thus, the focus in this drawing lies more on the play of light. Fractured and scattered in complex color relations it dominates over and shows more than bricks alone.
