Today, sketching live models (couple) – monthly session at Rotterdam

Roundism – 11-01-18 (sold)

Cubistic nude graphite pencil drawing

Of late I use models lubed with a lot of oil, just like this art deco-style photograph, in order to obtain great highlights, lovely midtones and smashing darker tones, all divided by abrupt threashold values.

Roundism – 18-01-18

cubist nude pastel drawing

Based on my previous graphite drawing ‘Roundism – 11-01-18’ I made this one in pastel, allowing me to study the female body covered in oil.

Sans titre – 05-01-18 (sold)

cubist portrait graphite pencil drawing promotion

A new one in the sans titre series depicting Gone with the Wind actress Vivian Leigh. I like her cool looking appearnce hiding a turmoil of complex emotions, wandering from depression, alcoholism to briljant actorship and back, ending in her death by tuberculosis.
