This pastel drawing shows a F antasia beetle catching and eating ants. The non-existent Latin name for it was given at the artist's request by Professor Jelle Reumer (Utrecht Ned.)
Jaap Luteyn attaches great importance to explaining his working methods and techniques, especially after misunderstandings about this arose. His drawings always have a white border around them, which is created by taping off his drawing before he makes it. He then removes the tape and thus obtains a nice, tight frame.   Luteyn's work is always one unique piece, so no lithograph, etching or silkscreen with an edition. Techniques: 1) - Pencil (graphite) but also coloured pencils are always presented as a drawing in a white frame with a passepartout. 2) - Pastel, pastel pencil and watercolour pencils are often combined and always presented as a drawing in a frame with a passepartout. 3) - Acrylic paint: Is always presented as a painting. The carrier can always provide his canvas, panel or drawing cardboard with a simple frame that is usually replaced by the buyer anyway. 4) - Acrylic ink: and Watercolour pencils are often combined always presented as a drawing in a frame with passepartout. 5) - Oil paint: On turpentine or water-thinnable base (later years) are always presented as a painting with a simple narrow frame usually (metallic black). The supports are identical to those of acrylic paint. Tools: Pencils, brushes and scalpels, and in some projects airbrush is used especially in the skies and (in the 90s).
