The infinitive waves of eternity – 15-06-19
The slanted position of the body inspired me to sketch some waves around it. I kept the focus on the body while tuning down the values in the waves a little bit.
Drawings
Beek – 11-06-19
This drawing complements the previous Beek (30-05-19) drawing in such respect that in this one the view is directed to the extension of the path I was walking on.
Roundism – 10-06-19
After a bunch of landscapes and cityscapes I felt it was time to return to my roundism ladies. For me changing the theme once in a while is very useful.
Voorburg – 01-06-19
In the dead of summer means I am in the midst of the outdoor sketching season. Although I did not complete this one on the spot the invention of the basic composition and planal distribution were done at Katendrecht, Rotterdam.
Beek – 30-05-19
I was heading for the Filosofendal at Beek, Ubbergen, Gelderland, Netherlands when I decided to take a turn to the left.
Huis Hatert – 26-05-19
There is an ancient spot in Hatert, Nijmegen, Netherlands, the place where I was born.
The Hague – 21-05-19
At the front my flat overlooks a great cityscape of The Hague, Netherlands, where I live. Already used as a styled (roundism) background in my oil painting ‘The Madonna of The Hague (2015)’ I decided to do a small sketch of the same view, now enriched with some extra high buildings like ‘New Babylon’ in the city centre.
Wijk bij Duurstede – 20-05-19
On my walk through Wijk bij Duurstede in Utrecht, Netherlands, I saw these sheep in waving grass that ran all the way down from the dike I was on to the slate tree line.
Berg en Dal – 17-05-19
This time I wanted to experiment with cubistic planes again, trying out a forest scene at Berg en Dal, Gelderland, Nederland without one hour.
Rotterdam – 14-05-19
At Katendrecht in Rotterdam I had a clear view on the old harbour buildings and I saw the potential of horizontals, some verticals and a diagonal by means of a quay to the right.
Wijk bij Duurstede – 13-05-19
I came to visit Wijk bij Duurstede, a small city near Utrecht and castle Duurstede is everything one can expect from a medieval castel: a moat, a keep and a perfect preserved round tower.
Voorburg – 12-05-19
There is this specific spot in Voorburg at the beginning of the Herenstraat where it is particulary beautiful.
Haagse Bos – 10-05-19
When I came back from Clingendael I took my favorite way back home through ‘estate Reigersbergen’.
Voorburg – 09-05-19 (sold)
In springtime Voorburg is a wonderful place to be. The Old Church is catching light and the big ol’ tree in front of it is shattering the light on top of the church roof.
Veere – 08-05-19
I was walking through Veere, Zeeland, Netherlands where I visited the harbour first.
Laren – 30-04-19
When I Laren near the Singer Laren Museum I saw a couple of horses and perhaps they were the same couple as drawn by me in ‘hommage to a dead horse’ last year.
Singer Laren – 29-04-19
Sunday 28th of April I went to Museum Singer Laren to see a great exhibition on German expressionists like the painters of Die Brücke and Der Blauwe Reiter.
Berg en Dal – 28-04-19
I planned this study to be completed under an hour. I think I improve. The goal is to prepare me for the outdoor season to come.
Amsterdam – Rijksmuseum – 27-04-19 (sold)
I went to visit the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum with my parents to see the exhibition ‘Alle Rembrandts’: All Rembrandt sketches and etchings, well most of them anyway.
Laakmolen – 26-04-19
The Laakmolen is an ancient mill already painted by Vincent van Gogh and it is hidden from plain sight nowadays.
Clingendael – 25-04-19
A second of a new series of small drawings depicting estate ‘Clingendael’ at The Hague, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
Clingendael – 24-04-19
Wednesday (daytime) is my ‘day off’. Teaching art class is due in the evening and I have lots of time to go outdoors now spring has arrived. Estate ‘Clingendael’ is just around the corner to where I live here in The Hague and there i saw two swans swimming by.
Kethel – 22-04-19 (sold)
I was heading for Julia Filament’s exhibition on Katendrecht when I decided to take a detour through Kethel, a small encapsulated village in the north of Schiedam, near Rotterdam.
Leidschendam – 21-04-19
Today I went to Amsterdam to see Rembrandt’s etchings and on my way how I stopped in good ol’ Leidschendam at the Sluisjes where I quickly sketched this view with ‘De Peperbus’ (an old church) in the background.
Zierikzee – 16-04-19
The first great day of Spring has arrived and my mood for landscape painting and drawing still is growing.
Leidschendam – 11-04-19 (sold)
I am in a spring kind of mood and since my last drawing I see more blossoms although real fine weather is only due for next week.
Vossendijk – 09-04-19 (sold)
The Vossendijk is the place where I was born, situated in Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands.
Veere – 04-04-19
Last weekend I was walking through Veere at Zeeland, Netherlands, a little pittoresque town. I returned to my car when I saw the sign ‘city wall tour’ and I decided to take that one and then, when I climbed onto them, I saw this great composition that reminded me of Caravaggio’s ‘Descent from the cross’, a perfect staircase composition – triangles within one big triangle.
The artist and his model – 31-03-19
This drawing is a protest and and prestudy altogether. The latter for the sake of a bigger painting and the first because I need to be more clear about nudity once again.
