A new project on wheels, a new pastel in the roundism series, based on a graphite pencil drawing I made in 2015. I’m excited the possibilities Clairefontaine’s Pastelmat offers me. It enables to lay thick patches of pastel (Schmincke, Unison, Sennelier) without falling off the paper like with other brands.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Roundism – 29-11-17)
Based on a earlier roundism graphite pencil drawing I made this pastel adding the realm of colours. I wanted the woman appear in a kind of midsummernight’s dream with lots of yellow and blues, girded with some purples and pinks.

Roundism – 24-11-17 (sold)
A new graphite pencil drawing in the roundism series in which I experimented with deformations of body shapes with the purpose of keeping the forms as ‘open’ as possible, so all forms can breathe, flowing from one into another.

Yesterday’s session at Rotterdam offered Gabriëlle, the model of that Sunday afternoon. She had great hip bones and was slender, thus showing great angles and triangles with her body.
Model session 2 @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17
Short positions at live model sketching took me back to reinvent my way rendering human bodies and together with my new found Pastelmat by Clairefontaine I was able to experiment with new ways.
