With the Sakura products Japan I make every month  two artworks. 

The beautiful products inspires me and I love to work with this art materials. For many years now I already use the black Micron Pens and white Gelly Roll pen with great pleasure  from Sakura with my watercolours.

Now I can use the  beautiful studiobox of Koi Water Colors,  all kind of Gelly Roll Pens, Pen Touches  from this brand. All materials are beautifully color-coordinated and can be used very nicely together.

The best part is that Sakura is related to one of my favourite brands Royal Talens from the Netherlands.  I use their watercolours for many many years.  The materials Sakura profits me, contains also Ecoline ink and Watercolour paper from the Talens Brand. Later I will show you how they are incorporated into the artworks

Below my artworks I already did and stay tuned for more to come.

Colouring Book

In collaboration with a big publisher in Germany, EMF, Edition Michael Fischer, I had the opportunity to design  a colouring book. I had complete freedom in what I could create. The book consists 50 motifs and additional pages. It turned out in a wonderful book!  It's available by the publisher or at Amazon.

In this blog, I am going to show you step by step how to make a watercolour and pen illustration.
