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.
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.
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.
