盖 西 纳 嘎 在 太 空 – 20-10-21
Who would have ever though of Geesje Kwak in Space? Of course she already was fond of higher spheres.
Geesje Kwak – 04-09-21
My previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Geesje Kwak – 25-08-21’ was executed in my hatched strokes style and I kinda like it. Sometimes you just feel like doing this or that but in this particular case I understand better why.
Geesje Kwak – 29-08-21
Breitner took a couple of pictures of her in some backyard, perhaps his own. Who knows? For some reason I was inclined to use the principles of singularity as laid down in a drawing like Roundism (Singularity) – 01-06-17.
Geesje Kwak – 13-08-21
After I drew the portrait of Geesje Kwak last month I discovered another picture taken by Breitner. It is slightly different and shows a bigger part of her body rather than her face only.
Binckhorst Nude – 03-08-21
At the Binckhorst I met a model who posed nude for me and a student of mine. The live model sketch was in pastel and in fact I got the taste to do some more.
Roundism – 23-12-20 (sold)
Just on the brink of Christmas I thought I should make a roundism drawing looking rather risqué. It was a strange and hefty year for us all, I think.
On the Beach – 11-12-20
Years ago I saved a vintage picture of a nude on the beach. Origin unknown and my best guess would be from the 1930s or 1940s. The picture was rather grainy and but it showed a great composition of a female body in slanted position.
Hommage to the Entombment of Christ by Caravaggio – 05-12-20
In my classes I often use ‘The Entombment of Christ’ by Caravaggio to demonstrate how artists normally distribute space. Next to this, in my eyes a great artist is one who lets the composition reflect the idea the main theme has to to convey.
Roundism – 15-11-20
The previous drawing Roundism – 06-11-20 was set up rather elementary, contary to this one.
Roundism – 06-11-20
After Roundism – 27-10-20 I thought to postpone future colored pencil drawings for a while and return to graphite pencil.
