A prestudy for a painting of Louise Brooks in a cubistic style.
Cubistic nude (02) (prestudy) (2013)
Prestudy for ‘Cubistic Nude 02 (2013)’ in pastel. The oil version has some more movement than this one.
Cubistic nude (01) (prestudy) (2013)
This is the prestudy for ‘Cubistic nude 01 (2013)’ on pastel. I used velours paper and Schmincke pastels so I could fill up planes easily and make a swift progression, keeping up with the ideas that I feared would be lost if I would set it up to slowly.
Hatertse Vennen (Hatert Meres) 01 (2012)
A place where I came often when I was a young child. It’s a place full of little meres, heather and forests. I like painting and sketching trees.
Nude in front of tapestry (2012)
A pastel drawing based on a 1920’s art deco-style picture.
Nude 03 (2012) (sold)
The original impressionistic pastel drawing of a nude after which I made a copy for a Chinese collector in December 2016.
Nude 02 (2012) (sold)
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.
Nude 01 (2012) (sold)
classical piece that went to China. They love such classic art over there.
Nude in front of mirror (2012)
A classic pastel drawing starring Kiki de Montparnasse, Paris’ famous model from the 1920’s.
Hommage to Man Ray 2 (2012)
Second tribute to Man Ray’s surrealistic photos. I wanted to see what the solarized pictures would like if I added some colour to them.
Hatert Meres (Hatertse Vennen) 02 (2012)
A view on The Hatert Meres, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands. The emphasis lies on the reflection of the trees in the water.
Hommage to Man Ray 1 (2012)
A tribute to Man Ray, surrealist photographer and lifetime inspirational source.
Portrait of a lady (2012) (sold)
It’s not that often that I like to finedetail a drawing but in the case of portraying Nicole Kidman I liked to see how far I could push my own style of hatched strokes with my Derwent pastel pencils (I hardly use).
Bathing nude (2012) (sold)
A classical / realistic approach to realism with a wink to Edgar Degas. It is sold to a Chinese collector.
Hommage to Man Ray (Lee Miller) (2012)
After a Man Ray picture of Lee Miller. I believe before he went on the solarization of photos.
l’Odalisque (2012)
Many have painted a l’Odalisque but this one is based on a photo by Eugène Durieu (1850’s). I thought even Delacroix used this picture as a reference photo.
Nude leaning forward (2011) (sold)
This pastel is done after a 1920’s picture I found in an art deco-community online.
Nude sitting on table (2011) (sold)
This pastel drawing ‘Nude Sitting on Table (2011) (sold)’ is a kind of impressionist I guess. People around me also mentioned realism and art deco.
