Roundism – 11-02-18

cubistic nude oil painting

Based on two previous artworks: a pastel called ‘Into the light – 15-06-17’ (impressionistic, surrealsitic) and a graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 04-07-17’. I liked both works and took the colour scheme of the pastel drawing in reds and greens but also used the roundism style of the pencil drawing and combine them.

Roundism – 02-02-18 (sold)

Cubistic nude oil painting

Based on a prestudy in pastel (Model – 01-12-18) I made this painting in oil. My objective was to stay in line with the fauvist colour kind of strokes (in case of the pastel they were pretty much ‘broken’ and ‘open’ strokes / patches) but also to get to a more abstract feel by means of rendering the model slighty cubistic.

Model session 2 @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17

cubistic nude pastel dawing

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.

Nieuwe Veenmolen – 19-10-17

cubistic landscape graphite pencil drawing

A drawing of the ‘Nieuwe Veenmolen’ (MIll ‘Nieuwe Veen’) at The Hague, a place around the corner from where I live.

Nude – 01-10-17

cubistic nude colored pencil drawing

A rather loose cubistic sketch done with colour pencils. For the 4th time in a row I used the same (indian) model. Her skin allows me to use a lot of yellow which I counterbalanced with edgy purple planes.

Mary Pickford – 13-09-17

cubistic portrait oil painting of Mary Pickford

This is the painting based on a previous drawing ‘Sans titre – 25-10-16’ depicting Mary Pickford, one of the first female leading ladies in movie history.

Maassluis – 12-09-17

cubistic harbour graphite pencil drawing

This depiction of Maassluis, a town near Rotterdam towards the North Sea, is somehow impressionism meets roundism.
