I am a filmmaker with a love for storytelling through animation and live action. You might know me from Under The Apple Tree or The Smile. #filmmaker #animation #stopmotion #watercolor #art #storyartist #director #producer
A lovely evening at the Rosarium in The Hague, sketching with my Urban Sketch buddy Bernhard. Meanwhile, a heron stood beside us, peering over our shoulders with a discerning, art-loving eye.

The town square of Buchupureo, Chile. A hot day with lots of contrast. And lots, lots, lots of wind. Hold on to your paintbrush!

Near the Zuiderpark in The Hague, Netherlands. I was sitting in my car, doing a speed paint of the morning traffic. Cars, traffic lights and a tentative morning sun.

Added an extra layer of color. It was way too washed out for my liking. Might need even a darker layer...
I wanted to keep working, in the cool darkness of my studio, but damn — this day is just too beautiful! So here’s another quick postcard from the balcony: 'Greetings from Columbus Street'

The harbor of Scheveningen, Holland. The end of April, last hour of sun. Sultry. A lovely evening.

Gig rowers on the Scillies. I'm not sure about this one. I like it and I hate it. Strange...

I'm studying the colors of water, with water colors. Difficult stuff.
