Já na segunda-feira, começaram as férias que compartilhei com uma pessoa muito querida.
Começamos o dia andando tranquilamente pela região de Joordan. Almoçamos no Café Thijssen e seguimos para o Westerpark para enfim chegarmos ao nosso destino principal no dia: O Het Schip.
"O Navio", como é conhecido este edifício residencial projetado pelo arquiteto Michel de Klerk, foi concluído em 1920 e é um expoente da arquitetura expressionista da época, tornando-se mundialmente conhecido.
O prédio abrange toda uma quadra em forma de ponta de lança, formando um páteo central para onde muitos dos apartamentos são voltados. Caminhar em volta da curiosíssima construção é uma passeio delicioso. É de se apaixonar por tantos detalhes encantadores, e ao mesmo tempo, tanta harmonia e força de conjunto. A mistura de materiais é também notável, com predominância do tijolo vermelho. Uma faixa de tijolo escuro percorre todo o perímetro ao nível do primeiro andar. As portas dos apartamentos térreos são verdes, quase sempre em halls recuados em charmosas arcadas.
Sentamos para desenhar e ali permanecemos por duas horas! Ficamos cansados, claro. Impressionante como o tempo passa rápido quando estamos desenhando, ainda mais em um lugar tão tranquilo e com um tema tão interessante!
Aqui, três momentos do desenho:
 |
| O desenho feito no local, durante 2 horas. |
 |
| A continuação do mesmo, alguns meses depois, com mais texturas e algumas sombras. Adicionei também o lettering. |
 |
| O desenho concluído, colorido com aquarela. |
Mais tarde fomos tomar um café e uma gostosa ginger beer (uma espécie de cerveja sem álcool da qual me tornei fã!) em uma prainha fluvial de fronte para 'Het IJ', o braço de mar que margeia a cidade.

The day after the symposium was taken, pretty much, for resting. It was a quiet, calm Sunday.
I woke up later and had to deal with some normal travel stuff: check out at one hotel, check in at another, laundry, etc. I didn't draw.
On the nex day, Monday, my vacation started on, which I shared with a beloved person.
We started the day with a relaxing walk through the Joordan area. Then we had lunch at Café Thijssen and headed to Westerpark to finally reach our main destination on the day: The Het Schip.
"The Ship", how this residential building, designed by architect Michel de Klerk, is known, was completed in 1920. It is world renowned as an exponent of the expressionist architecture of the time.
The building spans an entire block, forming a central courtyard where many of the apartments face. Walking around this curious building is a delightful ride. It's not difficult to fall in love with the marvelous details, as well as the overall strength and design harmony. The mix of materials is also remarkable, with a predominance of red brick. A strip of dark brick runs the entire perimeter at the first floor level. The doors of the ground floor apartments are green, hidden in charming halls under arcades.
We sat down to draw and stayed there for two hours! We got tired, of course. Amazing how fast time goes by when we are drawing, especially in such a quiet place and with such an interesting theme!
Above, you can see three moments of the drawing: the sketch as it was left on the spot (2 hours on site), the ink drawing after I added more texture, shadows and the lettering (already back in my studio) and the final piece, water-colored.
Later we had a nice coffee and a delicious ginger beer (a kind of non-alcoholic beer that I became a fan of!) at a riverfront beach on 'Het IJ', the sea arm that borders the city.
