Model session – 14-02-19
Last session with my model I wanted to have her pose a little bit more risqué but counterbalance it by keeping the hatched strokes rather rough than to finepolish them into tonal matching strokes that would approach realism too much.
The Peace Palace in The Hague – 04-02-19
The graphite pencil drawing ‘The Peace Pace in The Hague – 04-02-19’ shows this famous building in bold cubist strokes.
Nude – 02-02-19
The object was to do a pastel drawing similar to ‘model session – 17-01-19’ but to keep the hatched strokes rather wide. I also wanted to combine more complementary colour combinations in order to get a greyish look while on the other hand those hatched strokes look very saturated up close.
Isis – 25-01-19
Some time ago I saw underwater excavation pictures of Heracleion, an ancient Egyptian city submerged.
Model session – 17-01-19
This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 17-01-19’ I began last Thursday. My model beautifully arranged in an Andrew Cross composition together with the folds.
Initiatrix – 03-12-18
The third art work in my new series on Egypt. I experimented with my personal style ‘roundism’ in combination with realism and surrealism.
De Koepel (The Dome) at Voorburg – 01-11-18
When I go to teach at Studio Brugman, atVoorburg I often come across The Dome (De Koepel), situated in the middle of estate ‘Vreugd en Rust’.
Model session – 29-11-18
This evening I had a great session with my main model throughout the years. She is slender, knows what I want and shows dark skin tones, giving my the possibility to fool around with all sorts of colours.
Het Oude Hof – 20-10-18 (sold)
Last week I went to visit Museum Kranenburgh at Bergen, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.
Leidschendam – 01-09-18 (sold)
