A 5 min. sketch I made yesterday at a session at Rotterdam. Fun to do short positions again.

Gouda – 30-06-17

cubistic church graphite pencil drawing

A view on the Sint Janskerk from Museum Gouda at Gouda, Zuid-Holand, Netherlands.

Into the light – 15-06-17

back view of a nude female figure wearing thigh-high socks, standing before a circular light source. Diagonal pastel strokes create movement and texture.

This pastel drawing ‘Into the Light – 15-06-17’ is something different. Enter the gloom or into the light?

Bettie Page – 24-02-17

surrealistic nude graphite pencil drawing

Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to an inescapable conclusion. Eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes could be derived from her and were essential for her expression.

Leiden – 27-12-16 (sold)

impressionistic cityscape graphite pencil drawing

An impressionistic view on Leiden, where I studied. I am often fascinated my reflections in water and there are so many canals to be found over there. The movement of the water is what I put as a central theme in this drawing.

Nude – 21-12-16 (sold)

impressionistic nude pastel drawing

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.

Schoonhoven – 15-12-16

Cubistic cityscape colored pencil drawing

I was attracted to the cubist quality of the planes that still offer a realistic / impressionistic view on a back alley in a small town called ‘Schoonhoven’, Netherlands.
