Prestudy for ‘Cubistic Nude 02 (2013)’ in pastel. The oil version has some more movement than this one.
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.
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.
A pastel drawing based on a 1920’s art deco-style picture.
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 classic pastel drawing starring Kiki de Montparnasse, Paris’ famous model from the 1920’s.
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.
A view on The Hatert Meres, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands. The emphasis lies on the reflection of the trees in the water.
A tribute to Man Ray, surrealist photographer and lifetime inspirational source.
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).
A classical / realistic approach to realism with a wink to Edgar Degas. It is sold to a Chinese collector.
After a Man Ray picture of Lee Miller. I believe before he went on the solarization of photos.
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.
This pastel is done after a 1920’s picture I found in an art deco-community online.
My one and only attempt to put pastel on canvas board. It doesn’t have enough tooth so I didn’t even finished it.
A view on the main harbour building at Rotterdam, Netherlands with the Erasmus bridge at the background.
An early pastel sketch of empty bottles in my years of being a law student.
An impressionistic pastel self portrait sketch when I was sick.
