Portrethokje @ CampingRotterdam festival

I spent last weekend with the drawing booth drawing people at the Camping Rotterdam Festival. Through all kinds of weather everybody kept their spirit up, as well as their drinking. Witnessed lots of people sinking in muddy fields, having hair curled and toenails polished at the beautysalon and then  playing outdoorsy games, with rainboots or bare feet in the mud. can't control the weather, but the party must go on.

More photo's of the drawings can be seen in my flickrstream

Portrait cabin

I made the portrait cabin as a drawing installation to use on location. There is a camera lucida installation inside that makes a reflection of the model on your paper, so you can draw very fast. The model has to sit in the cabin for 1 or 2 minutes, and in this short time the portrait has to be made. Drawing fast results in very loose drawings but at the same time they have a good resemblance of the model.
