Art Deco Nude – 15-08-22
After the last Roundism drawing I immediately wanted to do another one. It became ‘Art Deco Nude – 15-08-22’.
Drawings
Roundism – 13-08-22
And now for something completely different: Roundism again. After ‘Art Deco Nude – 11-08-22’ it was time to unleash my Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils on Roundism.
Art Deco Nude – 11-08-22
Art Deco Nude – 11 -08-22 is my third graphite pencil drawing done with my Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils. A couple of days after the second but I had a busy schedule of meetings, uploading and painting of course.
Art Deco Nude – 06-08-22
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco Nude – 06-08-22’ follows one day after the first, done with my new pencils. In fact, immediately after the completion of the first one I started the second in my studio at Brugman Art. However, finished a day later but within an hour in total.
Art Deco Nude – 05-08-22
This Art Deco Nude as theme is not something new, the materials are. The last decade I have been using mostly Bristol paper for my graphite pencil drawings.
Solarized Roundism – 01-07-22
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Solarized Roundism – 01-07-22’ is a welcome change from oil painting. After the completion of ‘Geesje Kwak and the Secret of the Universe – 28-06-22’ it was time to return to sketching.
Solarised Roundism – 16-06-22
Finally, a new drawing and it is a new Solarized Roundism. The last solarized one I did was ‘Risque – 31-03-22’. Graphite pencil drawings do not come popping up weekly anymore since I put my mind to oil painting back in February. Occasionally one is fininished as a result of some spare time I have, waiting for my students at Brugman Art. So is this one.
Risque – 05-05-22
It was some time ago when I did my last graphite pencil drawing in the Risque series.
Model Session – 14-03-22
While creating my recent series of oil paintings suddenly I felt it was time to have a new model session.
Roundism – 04-02-22
Once in a while I get that itchy feeling again that makes me want to turn to roundism. The last one by that title I made half a year ago.
Risque – 31-01-22
Another variation in the Risque Series. After my last graphite pencil drawing ‘Risque – 22-01-22’ I was searching for something new.
Family – 25-01-22 (sold)
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Family – 25-01-22 (sold)’ is a commissioned piece, just as the last commission ‘Opa – 14-04-21 (sold)’.
Risque – 22-01-22
The next one in the Risque series. After my previous colored pencil drawing ‘Risque – 18-01-22’ I wanted to experiment with angular structures again.
Risque – 18-01-22
A new drawing in the Risque Series. This time executed with colored pencils. It turned out to become quite different from the previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Risque – 11-01-22’.
Risque – 11-01-22
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Risque – 11-01-22’ is the third one of Julia Filament after the session of last 30th December. As previously said I found it to be an exciting session during which she took many great poses.
Hold Your Horses – 04-01-22
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Hold Your Horses – 04-01-22’ was a done deal in my head already during the live session.
Tribute to Alma Tadema – 28-12-21
Time for a tribute to Lourens Alma Tadema and why not? Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Mondriaan and De Kooning are house hold names.
Claudia – 06-12-21
Claudia is one of my talented students and she is about to turn 60 years old. Unfortunately I cannot give it to her personally because a planned surprise party is thwarted by Corona. Some luck however. The drawing will be included in a sort of liber amoricum and at first opportunity next year the party’s on for real. Anyway, I hope she likes it.
Solarized Roundism – 26-11-21
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Solarized Roundism – 26-11-21’ concerns a pose I had my model strike a couple of sessions ago. Strangely it takes me back a year ago when I experimented with solarization during the first lockdown in the Netherlands.
The Evelation of Julia Filament – 15-11-21
It is time for the elevation of Julia Filament. Sunday 7th November I finally met her again and we went to the Singer Laren Museum. She is a fine artist, graphic designer and great model.
Aachen – 03-11-21
Sunday last October 17th my parents and I visised the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of Albrecht Dürer art works and contemporaries. Crime scene: Suermondt-Ludwig Museum at Aachen, Germany.
盖 西 纳 嘎 在 太 空 – 20-10-21
Who would have ever though of Geesje Kwak in Space? Of course she already was fond of higher spheres.
Geesje Kwak – 08-10-21
After my last graphite pencil drawing of Geesje Kwak -04-09-21 I felt one was missing in the series. I found a perfect mix of roundism and classic 17th lighting in the best Caravaggio and Rembrandt tradition.
Wag the Dog – 26-09-21
Wag the dog was the first title that came to mind when I saw this beautiful photo. It stems from the 1930s I think.
Leiden – Herengracht – 14-09-21 (sold)
This colored pencil drawing depicts the Herengracht in Leiden, Netherlands. The canal with its beautiful houses for the rich stands out in its grandeur compared to other minor ones.
Geesje Kwak – 04-09-21
My previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Geesje Kwak – 25-08-21’ was executed in my hatched strokes style and I kinda like it. Sometimes you just feel like doing this or that but in this particular case I understand better why.
Geesje Kwak – 29-08-21
Breitner took a couple of pictures of her in some backyard, perhaps his own. Who knows? For some reason I was inclined to use the principles of singularity as laid down in a drawing like Roundism (Singularity) – 01-06-17.
Geesje Kwak – 25-08-21
Following my last drawing of her this one of Geesje kwak was next in line. I must confess I get the hang of it or should I admit to an obsession? Well, maybe not that hefty but her appearance keeps intriguing me
Study after Eugène Durieu’s Seated Female Nude – 20-08-21
After my last drawing of Geesje Kwak I did not have many new ideas. Then I remembered I had a photo of a seated female nude by Eugène Durieu.
Geesje Kwak – 13-08-21
After I drew the portrait of Geesje Kwak last month I discovered another picture taken by Breitner. It is slightly different and shows a bigger part of her body rather than her face only.
