Risque – 24-03-22
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 – 08-09-20
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 – 26-09-19
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 – 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.
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.
Model session – 17-01-19
Last Thursday it was time for my regular model to sit for me in my studio. I keep a clean blanket for her she can sit on.
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.
Model – 01-12-17
Some months ago I started attending some drawing sessions at Rotterdam where I did short positions again.
St. James Church (Grote of St.-Jacobskerk) at The Hague – 10-03-15
The St. James Church (Grote of St.-Jacobskerk) is situated in The Hague and I pass it by often. Then one day the sun was bursting out of the sky.
