Park Hoog Oostduin – 14-09-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper

2022

About the Item

Embracing Trees This graphite pencil drawing Park Hoog Oostduin – 14-09-22 follows directly after Het Sterrenbos – 12-09-22. Suddenly I found myself embracing the love for drawing trees again. Must be Autumn approacing. Throughout the years I see patterns in my sketching activities. Spring and Autumn by far are the most present in my art works. Some in Summer but the heat can be not pleasant to work in. I also get used to leaves on trees quite quickly. Only to forget how beautiful they are quite rapidly when November arrives. Then they start falling off trees and I often realize I did too few sketching outdoors. Repentance comes after the sin and 4 drooly months will follow until Spring arrives. Here it is, my yearly nature sketching routine. Better make the best of Autum then this year. Hidden Gem In the beginning of August I went for a visit to my friend’s house and I came across this park I didn’t knew so well yet. I looked it up and I thought it was called Park Hoog Oostduin. That also could only be the seniors flat adjacent to the park though. I don’t know. I also saw the name Arendsdorp Park. Anyway, the creek I drew was close to the aforementioned flat. Sometimes we come across some hidden gems whilst planning to do a totally different thing. I had all my cooking supplies with me (it was my turn). However, I managed to capture the lovely light shimmering through trees and hurry myself to my culinary destination. Normally I don’t do these drawings after a rushed photo. I really have to feel the atmosphere for some time, even if I don’t do a drawing at the spot. Keep the Impression The photo turned out to be very dark. Still I saw enough light to capture the feel I had that day. When it comes to these kind of motifs I always face some serious risks. The trees and the scattered light through them and on top of the water can look very amorphous. Therefor I saw it as my task to bring some structure in the scene but also keep the impression. Otherwise a drawing can become too factual, full of thingies. Walking on the brink, so to speak. I also was anxious to see if I could create something similar to my drawing ‘De Horsten – 19-07-14’. The resolution of this Ingres paper is less than I used for that one. All-in all I must say I am not dissatisfied, even though I had to correct certain segments of leaves this morning. I guess you are never finished.

  • View of Dunoon on the Clyde
    Located in Hillsborough, NC
    Scottish artist Robert Carrick (1829-1904) is renowned for his landscape and figurative paintings in oil and watercolor. This painting features detailed drawings of figures in the foreground with wagon, and the town and scenery in the background, painted over in watercolor in rich raw umber and red-brown tones in the foreground and blue green tones in the background. Carrick showed promise at a young age, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy age 16. He was a member of the Royal Institute. This two-toned watercolor work has detailed figures, wagon with hay in the forefront above a view of Dunoon town near Glasgow as it was long ago. Signed by the artist, lower left with an inscription that reads: 'View of Dunoon, Argyllshire drawn by Robert Carrick, Glasgow, for David Allan'. Verso includes a copy of the same inscription. Saltire Gallerie replaced the cracked and dirty plain glass with art glass and added an acid-free paper behind the work. While doing this work we found an art giclee, included with the painting. Presented in a patterned wooden frame with art glass. Dunoon was a thriving town on the river at the time of this work, and later became part of Glasgow. The view from above the town is a popular one, as Saltire Gallerie has another view of Dunoon from above by Scottish artist Patrick Downie...
