Rotterdam – 23-07-19
In the dead of summer means I am in the midst of the outdoor sketching season. Although I did not complete this one on the spot the invention of the basic composition and planal distribution were done at Katendrecht, Rotterdam. The vista is directed at Hotel New York that nowadays looks almost encapsulated by skycrapers. I was there long ago but the cityscape almost was inrecognizable. The watertaxi was done in my studio because they keep on moving all the time. Nevertheless a new typical sight in swinging Rotterdam. Although, the drawing seems rather detailed, I kept it quite impressionistical.

Boden for the excellent photography and the top class model that stood for us. Pastel drawing on Canson Mi-Teintes Touch paper (50 x 70 x 0.1 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers
