The Birth of New Cubism 2 – 01-05-14 (sold)
After the start of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series I got the hang of it and sometimes made 2 drawings at one day just to give shape to my ideas.

After the start of the ‘birth of new cubism’ series I got the hang of it and sometimes made 2 drawings at one day just to give shape to my ideas.

A cubistic drawing in which I started to divide the negative space into planes by extending the dimensions of body parts to the borders of the paper.

A pastel drawing of a nude in red with only a tiny touch of yellow.

A quick sketch of an old picture I once found that I quickly sold to one of my students.

Found a pastel in the ‘garbage’ map of pastels that I found to be not very bad after all. Takes me back a couple of years when I did a lot of hatching.

A classic pastel study of a classic sort of model pose. I liked the diagonals.

This pastel drawing ‘Reclining Nude 02 (2013)’ is made during a live drawing session at Studio Brugman at Voorburg, Netherlands.

Pastel drawing from a live session at Studio Brugman at Voorburg, Netherlands.

Classic nude done in hatched strokes with only complementary colours purple and yellow.




A traditional clairobscur approach of a nude with some complementary colours to beef up the scene.


A study after extreme light from the front with a heavy use of complementary colours.


For this study I used black papier and let the core shadows on the body of the model and the cast shadows totally untouched.



A realistic pastel sketch of one of my models ‘Ellen’ at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Netherlands.

Drew a live model at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.

Henriëtte Sibie at her best, at Studio Brugman (at Voorburg, Netherlands) during a live session.

Drawing of Holland’s most famous model ‘Henriëtte Sibie’, done at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.

A male nude (done a little bit expressionically) for a change (made at Studio Brugman, at Voorburg Netherlands).

The original impressionistic pastel drawing of a nude after which I made a copy for a Chinese collector in December 2016.

There is so much colour to be found in shadows. I hardly use unsaturated colours in them because then it looks so brownish and I can’t relate to that. This found its way to a Chinese collector.

classical piece that went to China. They love such classic art over there.

A classical / realistic approach to realism with a wink to Edgar Degas. It is sold to a Chinese collector.


This oil painting ‘China Girl (2012) is a tribute to old colonial post cards of exotic nudes. The yellow in this oil serves as the dominant factor.
