Aquatic superbeing – 06-11-18
This drawing is all about the aquatic qualities of the body of a woman.
Drawings
Sans titre – 26-10-18
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sans Titre – 26-10-18’ is my interpretation of the smashing facial features of Angie Dickinson.
Het Oude Hof – 20-10-18 (sold)
Last week I went to visit Museum Kranenburgh at Bergen, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.
Heavenly body – 17-10-18 (sold)
I was going to name this drawing ‘Heavenly Body – 17-10-18’, ‘Across the Universe’ after the Beatles song
Sans titre – 11-10-18 (sold)
I am not sure what I thought about her, except for her strong personality. I sometimes liked her paintings and then I didn’t. What I have in common with her is that we both are autodidacts and that we like(d) to go our own way in life. Somehow I always come across her once in a while and that is why I decided to draw her. I saw a lovely – rare – nude photograph and thought I’d include her in my sans titre / roundism series.
Holy Vortex! – 05-10-18 (sold)
I just loved to break up a female’s body into vortices of vibrant colours one time and so this is the smashing result.
Roundism – 17-09-18
This is the fourth drawing of model Julia Gómez Alivés in which I combined my roundism with colors.
Roundism – 07-09-18
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 07-09-18’ is the first one of my Spanish model Julia Gómez Avilés.
Sans titre – 27-09-18
In this drawing I tried to capture the edgy character of U.S. actress Talullah Bankhead and still bring softness to her face.
Nieuwe Veenmolen – 23-09-18
The Nieuwe Veenmolen, dating back from 1652, is situated nearby to where I live.
Julia – 11-09-18
The third drawing of Julia Gómez Avilés rendered with colour pencils. Last week I bought a great collection of Prismacolour pencils that brought me great joy using them
Leidschendam – 01-09-18 (sold)
Once I was at the roof top of a friend of mine who held an exhibition in her home at Leischendam, looking over ‘De Sluisjes’ (the locks) in the centre.
Free Gouda! – 25-08-18
I was walking on a Sunday afternoon, the last very hot one of this summer and the central square was deserted. No one was there because of the dying heat and I saw naked women dancing on it.
Gouda – 11-08-18
Last week I was walking in the direction of Museum Gouda to visit the exhibition ‘From Gauguin to Toorop’ when I saw this canal adjacent to the museum, opposite to the old church of Gouda.
Roundism – 04-08-18 (sold)
Creation is a transformational process. I am fascinated by the thought I evoke chaos turning my graphite pencil fillings into dust and my pencil eraser into crumbles, but at the same time creating something new.
Sans titre – 30-07-18
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sans Titre – 30-07-18’ depicts American celebrity moviestar Faye Dunaway. The straight planes put the stress on her tough cookie character.
Summer in Holland – 25-07-18
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Summer in Holland – 25-07-18’ is an ambiguous image. I had a double vision. Hence, two women for the price of one.
Roundism – 17-07-18
Another session with my model and I used an unusual point of view: above her and it took the challenge to capture the foreshortened shapes of her body.
Lorelei – 12-07-18
I always tell my students that art is about seeing one thing in another, just like tasting wine and describing it by comparing to something completely different than wine itself, like chocolate, red fruit, etc.
Roundism – 05-07-18
I was very happy with the result of my latest session with my favorite model. She showed great triangular structures and edges.
The Carolingian Chapel – 30-06-18
When I was visiting the Bastei, a new museum at the base of the Valkhof at Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands, my eye caught the Sint-Nicolaaskapel or better known as ‘The Carolingian Chapel’.
The Hague Forest – 21-06-18
This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Hague Forest – 21-06-18’ is a mixture of cubism, roundism and surrealism. Danger lurking in the dark?
Sans titre – 08-06-18 (sold)
I always liked Diana Ross (except for that ghaslty song ‘My Old Piano’) and when I saw a video recently I was intrigued by this shiny 80-dress oozing out glitter and glamour.
Roundism – 04-06-18
I was attracted by the musculature of the model’s back and wanted also to map this even more by emphasizing the oblique position of the torso by means of a number of strategically placed diagonals over the entire image plane.
Ai Weiwei’s latest drink – 25-05-18 (sold)
At the time of completing this drawing The Sigg collection is on display at the Noord-Brabants Musem at ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.
Bettie Page – 19-05-18
I found this great early picture of a young Bettie Page posing before her pin-up days of fame.
Roundism – 08-05-18
I found this great reference picture on which the model was heavily backlit, distorting her figure in the centre of it.
Sans Titre – 01-05-18 (Scarlett Johansson)
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sans Titre – 01-05-18’ depicts American actress and celebrity Scarlett Johansson. Cubism meets old mastery.
