Drawn in one of the monthly live drawing sessions at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Netherlands.
An impressionistic approach to live model sketching with one of my favorite models – done at Voorburg. Netherlands.
Enter the gloom! I wanted to delve into the darkness and bring a woman back into the light. With a little help from my friend Look J. Boden for the excellent photography and the top class model that stood for us.
A pastel version of the graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism (singularity) 01-06-17’.
A pastel version of the graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 26-05-17’. I used the primary colours red, yellow and blue to honor ‘De Stijl’, a dutch art movement that celebrates its 100 birthday this year.

I always wanted to do a piece after Rembrandt’s Jeremiah lamenting Jerusalem’s destruction and I could not find a more appropiate subject than the horrific destruction of Aleppo.
A pastel variety on the previous drawing ‘Roundism – 02-05-17’ in which I tried to match the found styled forms to a colour scheme that would match them.

In The Netherlands there isn’t a single artist who hasn’t sketched Henriëtte Sibie during a live session.
Did this one for a Chinese collector who wanted to have a copy the same pastel from 2012 which he acquired as well. The Chinese are into realistic western art nowadays.
A commission to do a pet was a big challenge for me. I have never done a dog before.
A mixture of impressionism, realism and cubism.
More of a styling really but the main theme in my ever search for a new kind of cubism these last years
A classic study of the female corpse in pastel. I put the stress on the high lights.
A pastel that was lingering about in my studio for years until I completed it. I went for a strong purple / yellow contrast. It’s now with a private collector in China.
This was commissioned work and the purpose was to capture sensuality and through cubist forms get the round female shapes.

I made a first draft in black and white Conté Carrés but it didn’t work. It stood in my studio for over a year pissing me off. Finallly I knew what to do and was ready to divide space through colourful planes.
Commissioned work. They wanted a portrait in a cubistic style. I used velours paper so I could make planes very easily with my Schmincke pastels.
