Painting in Amsterdam
A few days in Amsterdam enabled me to do sufficient sketches and studies of the canals for this studio painting of bikes propped up against the railings on one of the many bridges. Read Alan Reed Painting Blog to discover Bikes in Amsterdam.

Rijksmuseum
On a recent trip to Amsterdam I decided to visit the newly re-opened Rijksmuseum.
Dedicated to Dutch Art and the history of the Netherlands. I’d read a very positive review of the museum by art critic and TV presenter Waldemar Januszczak.
It encouraged me to brave the crowds and queues to pay homage to Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals.
It was difficult to spend huge amounts of time studying some of the more well known paintings, however I managed to make a couple of charcoal studies of one of Rembrandt’s later self portraits and a section of his “The Denial of St Peter” in my moleskine sketchbook . If you’re visiting Amsterdam then put the Rijksmuseum on your radar but buy your ticket beforehand and get there early!
