Oude Kerk (The Old Church) at Voorburg – 15-12-17

Nude – 01-10-17

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 – 28-09-17

When I looked at the hand streched out on the bed I immedately knew what to do.

I lost my contacts – 23-09-17

Last Sunday I had another photo shoot and drawing session with my favorite odel and after I saw back the photos there was only one plausible conclusion: There comes a time when you look at a naked woman and discover new things.
