Before my trip to De Haan in Belgium, I picked up a Royal Talens Landscape sketchbook, envisioning it as a dedicated journal to capture impressions from my various journeys. I usually try to categorize my sketchbooks by theme, and for this one, I had high hopes of filling it only with drawings from different trips, events, and holidays. However, I didn’t stick to the plan, as the pages soon filled with a mix of holiday sketches and experimental drawing exercises alike.
On this trip, the sketchbook became a space for exploration where I experimented with different approaches to capturing beach landscapes. I combined colored Pentel brush pens with the rich texture of crayons, aiming for that extra layer of crisp detail.
