De Koepel (The Dome) in Voorburg – 01-11-18
This colored pencil drawing ‘De Koepel (The Dome) in Voorburg – 01-11-18’ is in color again. Born out of an inner urge.
Madonna with Child – 2025-05-14
This oil painting ‘Madonna with Child – 14-05-25’ is a bit of an oddball in my repertoire. A mixture of expressionism, realism and even surrealism.
Risque – 2022-03-24
The first pastel drawing in the Risque series and was long overdue. At the beginning of February I started this one just to fill the time waiting for my students.
Cubist Expressionism – 2020-09-07
After careful considering I chose for a rendering with hatched strokes like I am used to in doing pastels and many a drawing, even though this is the first time in oil.
Model Session – 2019-09-26
Model sketching time again. My mind was occupied with many other projects but live model sketching always has priority. Whereas skecthing often is called the primary process, live model sketching I consider to be primus inter pares.
Model Session – 2019-02-14
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.
Nude – 2019-02-02
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.
Model session – 2019-01-17
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.
De Koepel (The Dome) at Voorburg – 2018-11-01
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 – 2018-11-29
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.
