Exposition

Hi guys!
Today I had an exposition with school. Where? Well, in a retirement. And that caused some problems...

We needed to paint ourselves. Not like how we're looking now, but how we thought we'd look when we're 80.
You know, that was a bit scary. I know I'm getting older every day, but 80... That's pretty old!
I worked on it for weeks and this is the result!

I know, I'm scary! Those staring eyes, brr!

But there was another assigment. To make everything a little less old, we needed to draw or paint a big sillhouette. ''A young, strong and powerful person''. I don't know why, but I thought of an angel. And here comes the problem.

When I think of an angel, I don't think about those cute blonde girls (the mainstream angels). I think about black. And that's something eldery don't like.

Okay, I'll admit it, she's a bit scary. But I'm still mad my angel isn't allowed to be with her friends in the retirement. She's still in our art class :(

But there will be another exposition and there you can all see my angel in real life :)

If you want to see my and other's paintings, they're in retirment Croonematen in Doetinchem at the moment.

Painting: Nada

This weekend I decided to paint my friend Nada. Here you can see her in her halloween outfit:

 I really like her hair and make-up here. I don't paint much, but I thought this hair would be prettier if I used paint.

I've made Nada before, as you can see here. She used to have blue hair (now it's black) and that was so cool :) The lyrics are from the song Fallen Angels by Black Veil Brides

First post

Hey everyone!
So, this will be my artblog. From now on, I'll post my drawings, paintings and more here, but it's a bit too dark now to take pictures.
I really don't know how to use that 'about me' page, so I'll tell you something about myself.
Hi, I'm Maaike and I'm fifteen years old. I live in the east of the Netherlands. I love symphonic metal and rockbands and you'll probably see a lot of drawings with them on it here! Some other things I love are food, playing the piano, being creative, writing, reading...
If you want to know more about me, you can always ask me in the comments!

Oh by the way, I know my English isn't very good. I really want to get better, so if you see some mistakes, tell me!
