One of the things I really need to practice and refine is the drawing of poses and of more detailed clothing. Therefore, when I stumbled across the #Tekenuurtje challenge on Instagram, I thought I would have a try at participating. The host artist, Linda van den Berg, shares photos and artists are invited to create an illustration of one of the images in whatever medium they like.
I was immediately enchanted with a portrait of an older couple wearing stylish clothes, complete with statement hats and scarves*. It was fun drawing their poses and all of the elements of their clothing. I think I will try participating in this challenge again.
*The easiest way I can share the source photo with you is to link to my Instagram post.

Very well done. You got this.
Thank you! I was pleased with this piece because it showed me that I have not lost my style during my absence from the art table.
Oh, my! You have got them down to a T. Sartorial goals for me and John maybe as we gracefully age? (LOL, I can just hear him say “over my dead body”).
Ha ha! I always think that I want to be more stylish but practicality and comfort always win out.
Exactly my view too!
Good job!!! I think you caught their attitude and body language well!!
Thank you!
I think these two are absolutely charming and you have dressed them so beautifully. You haven’t lost a step with your hiatus.
Thank you. I was actually very encouraged to see that I have not lost my style of drawing during my extended break.
