My weekly sewing class has a short design slot as well, just to challenge us a little bit. These are some of this week's doodles.

I'm curious, what languages do my mutuals know?

I speak both English and German, and I know some very basic phrases of Finnish, Spanish, and French.

Tag your mutuals!!

Oh how nice! Native Dutch here, English near-native, My German is pretty darn good, but when I start to write the cracks begin to show. My French is rather good, but the moment you drop me in the middle of a conversation with random Parisians, I'm lost. And I'm still struggling with Brazilian Portuguese, but slowly getting there. As in French, there is a huge difference between the official language in Brazil and what's spoken day-to-day. Trips me up a lot. Also, some rudimentary Greek and Latin. Which gives me a lot of help with vocabulary and basic grammar in Romance languages. And best of all: I can read Greek road signs and cereal packages which gives me no small amount of pleasure. Even if I don't know what it means. God, I love the shapes of the letters. @russadocachorrobranco @saaraahka @geritsel @curitibacitybrazil @zettelkaestchen

The Bridge

I started doodling and it ended up like this. Made with some brushes produced in China with a weird brand name that I recently got through (believe it or not) an Instagram ad. To my surprise I find them totally wonderful.

Another doodle grabbed from my Instagram stories

Part 2: I'm following a sewing class. Each week we have a half-hour design intro, where our teacher gives us very abstract assignments for our homework. This week's theme was Change.

I'm following a sewing class. Each week we have a half-hour design intro, where our teacher gives us very abstract assignments for our homework. it's total freedom, with a bit of input to start from. I love it.

Shamelessly nabbed from my Instagram stories, this post. Working with some new ultra fine-tipped brushes by Fumuui. Wish I still had my acrylic nails because I really liked the look.

Dabbling with paint and drinking the best coffee at the cosiest place in town, Brazilian Vegan Coffee house Veggie. (If you're in Rotterdam, be quick. It won't be there for too long)

Just bought the book 'Kinder der Nacht' (Children of the night) by Felix Scheinberger, with lots of Berlin friends in it, like Valentina Demonia. It's gorgeous

Creature Elegies

Made for my biggest fan, my brother F. ❤️. One day I hope to paint on a real harpsichord.

The familiar

Finished and scanned version of a watercolour I posted earlier while it was still kind of in progress. (Oh yeah, I'm also here: instagram.com/marijnvanderwaa)

Eulogy.

Slowly getting back into painting again.

With thanks to micronomicon

[vanderwaa]

I think I’ll declare it finished.

Notes of todays meeting #55 I can vaguely remember talking about marketing and such. And I don't know what these drawings are about either, but that's normal.

Cochineal lice, painted with Schminke cochineal red watercolour. So basically lice, painted with themselves.
