Gemeentemuseum 02 (2014)

cubistic museum pastel drawing

The second one of the series, turning to abstraction already. Still a lot of atmospheric depth and perspectives.

Gemeentemuseum 01 (2014)

cubistic museum pastel drawing

The first of the ‘Gemeentemuseum series’. This one still is in the recondo mode, investigating what I could do with the subject. I had a vague idea of cubism because there’s a lot in it and the building itself is a complex of cubes. A kind of ode to Mondriaan or would that be too corny?

Utah (2014)

Pastel drawing of a humanoid rock formation in a Utah canyon, rendered in textured diagonal strokes.

This pastel drawing ‘Utah (2014)’ depicts a particular canyon in Utah, not Bryce Canyon by the way. Executed in my impressionist hatched strokes style.

The Hague Golf & Country club (2014)

impressionist treescape pastel drawing

This pastel drawing ‘The Hague Golf & Country Club (2014)’ is my attempt to equal skills with those of Pissarro. The grandmaster in depicting foliage.one big light show at the end of autumn.

Splash (2013)

Surrealistic nude pastel drawing

An experiment in pastel to get flow without blending out with my fingers (in order to avoid ‘muddy segments’ in my pastels).

Clingendael – 14-08-13

impressionistic treescape graphite pencil sketch

A quick impressionistic sketch from my tours through The Hague and its parks. This one is Clingendael.

Adam & Eve – 08-05-13 (sold)

Impressionistic nude pastel drawing

Found a pastel in the ‘garbage’ map of pastels that I found to be not very bad after all. Takes me back a couple of years when I did a lot of hatching.
