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.

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.

Roundism (singularity) – 05-06-17

This pastel drawing ‘Roundism (Singularity) – 05-06-17 is the pastel version of ‘Roundism – 01-06-17 (Sold)’. Offering the principles of singularity.

Roundism – 29-05-17 (sold)

cubistic nude pastel drawing

A pastel version of the graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 26-05-17’. I used the primary colours red, yellow and blue to honor ‘De Stijl’, a dutch art movement that celebrates its 100 birthday this year.

The widow of Aleppo – 18-05-17 (sold)

cubistic nude pastel drawing

I always wanted to do a piece after Rembrandt’s Jeremiah lamenting Jerusalem’s destruction and I could not find a more appropiate subject than the horrific destruction of Aleppo.

Roundism – 10-05-17

Cubistic nude pastel drawing

A pastel variety on the previous drawing ‘Roundism – 02-05-17’ in which I tried to match the found styled forms to a colour scheme that would match them.
