​Rembrandt is one of my first portrait drawings, at least an attempt.It was in the year of Rembrandt's birthday and the Rijksmuseum held a competition in which the winners could exhibit the work they had made for six months at the Rijksmuseum.Unfortunately, my drawing fell outside the boat in this competition, but it was definitely worth it.I made this drawing with pencils from Bruynzeel to 8B.

​In my hometown of Veenoord is the Van Gogh House, a lodging place of Vincent during the period when he was fascinated with Drenthe.Naturally, I visited our "neighbor" at the Scholte lodge.
​I became increasingly admiring while visiting his workplace and thought it was time to study drawings by him.
​In 2023 in Drenthe is "the year of van Gogh" , I want to pay attention to that with my own studies of him.
​I used pencils from koh I noor 8B.
