Yesterday I won the first and only prize in a competition for making the best portrait of King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands. Fifty other entrants had send in their works of art. The jury consisted of important art ‘connaisseurs’. The King’s Governor presented the award. It is a big honor for me.

Rob that’s really cool. Are those A4 prints tiled up for the final image? Well done!

I sketched all 40 independently and stitched them together in Photoshop. Every rectangle is unchanged iPad screen size.

Gefeliciteerd Rob! Prachtig portret, fascinerend om het you tube filmpje te zien hoe je het oog afmaakt. Geniet vaak van je mooie sketches. En natuurlijk dagelijks van de stralende baobab in onze huiskamer in Ségou! Liefs voor jullie beiden, Pieter en Renée Raijmakers
