REM-eiland, Amsterdam 30x30cm Built by legendary Rotterdam businessmen (Verolme! Heerema!) in 1964 to host an offshore TV station, the Reclame Exploitatie Maatschappij. Just outside the Dutch territorial waters they could broadcast without a permit - and pay for it with ads, forbidden at the time. The Dutch navy invaded and seized their equipment after only 4 months. The station later became TROS, now AVROTROS, a public broadcaster. . The impressive structure is now a restaurant @remeilandrestaurant in the Amsterdam Houthavens .

Stoombootweg, Amsterdam This is 'rural' Amsterdam-Noord, the part of Amsterdam on the other side of the IJ. Hundred years ago you could take a steamboat (hence the name) from here to the city.

Krom Boomssloot, Amsterdam More than 400 years ago this area just east of Nieuwmarkt was still 'out of town' and belonged to a certain Cornelis Boom, a shipbuilder. The canals used to be his ditches and are still named after him 'Recht Boomssloot' (Boom's straight ditch) and 'Krom Boomssloot' (Boom's crooked ditch) and the alley next to the canalhouse is called 'Zakslootje' (the sinking ditch?)

Chris standing in the doorway of his Boulangerie Chris @boulangerie_chris . I know Chris from my days in advertising. He became a village baker and in doing so, he's one of the people who inspired me to change my path as well. It's the kind of inspiration that comes from positive jealously: I want that too! So due to Chris' baguettes and focaccia I'm now an artist who draws houses, and bakers. Thanks Chris!

See the drawing of this house on Kastanjeweg in Amsterdam Oost come together There was a huge tree (not a chestnut…) right in front, so the main question was: with or without tree? Thanks Greta for the commission and opting for the tree!

Beulingstraat, Amsterdam Corner of Herengracht/Leidsegracht. What we're looking at here is the side of the building that's facing the Herengracht. On the left you see the back of the classic 'klokgevel' (clock facade) In case you're interested: I made a 6-minute reel to show the complete drawing process . #herengracht #grachtengordel #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamcentrum #amsterdam #canalhouses #grachtenpand #huisportret #urbansketchers

What are we drawing today? I’ve cut one hour of urban sketching down to 6 minutes to give you an idea. No timelapses. It was a bit too cold that day, so when the hatching became too sloppy I moved inside. Next time I’ll do proper titles/voiceover…

Amstel Tower, next to Amstel Station, next to the Amstel river 30x40 cm One of the new towers in this area, designed by @powerhousecompany In the back is the outline of the Rembrandt Tower, the first of them. 30 years ago, when it had just been built, I worked there on the 18th floor as an office clerk and *almost* became an actuary... 😅 Thanks Stefanie, Nadine & Patrick for the commission! . #amsteltower #amstel #amstelriver #rembrandttoren #amsterdamoost #amsterdamamstel #amsterdam #amsterdamart #huisportret #houseportrait #housesketch #archisketch #architecture #skyscraper #penart #urbansketchers

Beethovenstraat, Amsterdam (Zuidas) The office of NautaDutilh lawyers, designed by @unstudio_architecture of @ben_van_berkel When drawing large buildings, there's usually a geometric logic - not in this case.

Tesselschadekerk, Hilversum, redeveloped to an office space Notice the brickwork.

Someone wanted to know how I draw a tree - it was a chestnut in the shade of a building Took 6 minutes, but I sped it up to 60 seconds

The Elandsgracht (Moose Canal, for the hides that were tanned here - hasn't been a canal since 1891) is one of the busiest streets in De Jordaan. I'm cycling by here almost every day. This canalhouse looks like a canalhouse, but as you see it was built in 2005. Right next to it is the most-famously-named snackbar of Amsterdam 'Stoot-je-hoofd-niet'. Don't Bump your head.
