Copyright is such an important subject, with so many people downloading drawings from Pinterest and Google, that I felt the need to share it here, with permission.

In my last blog I said that I was going to film and give you a studio tour to show you what it looks like and how I store my art supplies. Well, I thought that I would have to clean everything and tidy it all up first (which of course didn’t happen… yet). But then I saw the latest ...

It has been a looooong time since I had been coloring. Especially with colored pencils. But last weekend I finally managed to finish a coloring page that was lying in my studio for literally MONTHS! It was a page from one of Masja van den Berg’s coloring books, titled ‘Masja’s Mandala’s’. I think I started somewhere in July last year, ...

Just another Saturday. Or not? A couple of weeks ago my husband and I were on our way home. We had done some grocery shopping and we were tired and glad that we were ready to start enjoying the weekend.  While my husband was driving the car, I sat beside him and was playing with my mobile phone. I saw ...

For today’s Sunny Sunday I’ve chosen someone who is greatly admired by colorists from all over the world, including me. Her name is Chris Cheng.

Her first videos on YouTube and pictures on Facebook date from January ...

Actually I wanted to start this sale earlier, but due to a trip to the Netherlands, things had to be postponed with a couple more days. But here it is! You can now purchase your own copy of my book, with a 30% ...

Two weeks ago I announced my color charts book. And I had no idea how much work I was taking on, hahaha! My idea was a bit like ‘I’ve got all these charts, I’ll just put them together in a pdf, and voilá, there’s my book!’ But making a book, if you want to do it properly, takes time. A ...

When I made my very first color charts for myself to use, early 2016, I couldn’t imagine that I was doing something different than other people who made color charts. But apparently I DID! For several years now, my blank color charts have been used by hundreds of colorists and artists around the globe! And many requests have been made ...

A couple of days ago I received a message from Netty, asking my permission to use one of my blank color charts in a video. She said she would credit me and share a link to my website in return. It is so nice to see that there are genuinely nice people out there, that appreciate my work and politely ...
