Clairobscur – 06-10-20
In 2013 I started this clairobscur lit nude and tucked it in one of pastel maps, only to forget about it for years and years.
Sea swimming – 30-07-20
This pastel drawing ‘Sea Swimming – 30-07-20’ is an experiment on a new kind of paper. The pastel particles stick to the paper beautifully.
Model session – 31-12-19
Last day of the year and completed a work in progress I started during a live session with my regular model. With just two simple LED reading lamps I got the atmosphere right

Model session – 14-02-19
Last session with my model I wanted to have her pose a little bit more risqué but counterbalance it by keeping the hatched strokes rather rough than to finepolish them into tonal matching strokes that would approach realism too much.
Nude – 02-02-19
The object was to do a pastel drawing similar to ‘model session – 17-01-19’ but to keep the hatched strokes rather wide. I also wanted to combine more complementary colour combinations in order to get a greyish look while on the other hand those hatched strokes look very saturated up close.
Model session – 17-01-19
This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 17-01-19’ I began last Thursday. My model beautifully arranged in an Andrew Cross composition together with the folds.
Model session – 29-11-18
This evening I had a great session with my main model throughout the years. She is slender, knows what I want and shows dark skin tones, giving my the possibility to fool around with all sorts of colours.
