Nude – 22-01-16
Part of the roundism series. I liked the edgy feel to the knees creating distinct forms in the negative space around them.

I liked the sausage-form quality of the model reclining on the floor and immediately saw the roundism-styled shapes in it.
A cubist approach to this one. I had so much negative space left that I had to come up with something. I decided to make a kind of super trooper or sun.
Part of the roundism series. I was charmed by the foreshortening in the back and the buttocks of the woman reclining and I wanted to do a combination of straight and round planes and forms.
An expressionistic approach to live model sketching with one of my favorite models – done at Voorburg. Netherlands.

Part of the roundism series and in the hands of a private collector now.
I liked doing the facets like a diamond in this one. It’s with a private collector now.
The reference picture was not too great so I had to add a lot of things to it, like the moon and in the body.
I liked the model being thin so I could easily detect cubistic planes.
When I saw this photo for the first time I didn’t know what to think of it. I do not relate to so-called romantic art of ballerinas and dancers striking great poses.
I experimented with stronger lines and edges like featured on a futuristic machine.
Part of the roundism series. I wanted to have it as abstract as possible without losing the essence of the female body.
I loved to let the women’s forms flow into the sheets around and let them be a part of the body. Mass that desintegrates into lines around it.
I particularly like this one because of the cubist quality of the abdomen muscles and the compositionary division of the negative space in big planes.
This cubism-like drawing look rather like stained glass to me, now I look back at it.
Graphite pencil drawing of an art deco-like model. I liked the cubist quality of the hairs.
With this one I felt confident to explore the connection of the dominant figure with the negative space around it by incisions across both spaces. By extending lines through the direction of body parts I got geometric figures outside that mirror them.
I thought it would be appropiate to let the model disappear into the negative space all around her so she would be lying there, scattered across the floor and so I did.
A cubist graphite pencil drawing that I personally find to be succeeded.
An impressionistic view on the buttocks of my favourite model.
When I saw this photo for the first time I didn’t know what to think of it. I do not relate to so-called romantic art of ballerinas and dancers striking great poses. Therefor I had to come up with something different and I was intrigued by the pose nevertheless.
I wanted to suggest evaporatation and transparency with this pencil drawing.
A continuation of the roundism series. I particularly like this one because I like the pose and the fluidity that speaks. It’s a kind of zig-zag pattern that appeals to me. It’s with a private collector from the U.S.
