Procreate
Sikkens paint
For bedrijvenpark de Wieken Vinkenhoef in Amersfoort I painted another electricity box mural. After looking through some documents of theirs which described the history of the site I found an important piece of information which lead to the final design.
The area used to be high peat, peatland was an important biotope of the Netherlands until it got completely wiped out by industrialization and agriculture. The Netherlands still to this day doesn’t have any form of actual unplanted biotopes left. Luckily among young people there is now a strong push for biodiversity and protecting of what is still left of nature in the Netherlands. As usual, I started with a pencil sketch, moved to procreate and then actually picked up a paintbrush. For this design I worked with a limited color palette due to working with 2 other designers who made a design, both part of Huis van Betekenis.
