Sketching
The Teken Vierdaagse (Draw Four Days) of the Betekenaar is just over. It makes me think. I like to try to sketch something very simple in the way that Betekenaar strives for. Unfortunately, I can’t do more than that. I always try, but always find that drawing is not in my genes. For a long time I even thought that I could not draw until I discovered the lessons of the Betekenaar and discovered that I can sketch with symbols.

CANVA
CANVA
I found CANVA and dulged into it in 2021. CANVA is a great tool, but be aware of Copyrights and Picture rights. I will return to my beloved Excel and use also PowerPoint, because of the copyrights. Otherwise CANVA is a great tool. There are a lot of alternatives for CANVA. I myself use Venngage, but most people prefer CANVA.
