Nude 03 (2012) (sold)

Impressionistic nude pastel drawing

The original impressionistic pastel drawing of a nude after which I made a copy for a Chinese collector in December 2016.

Nude 02 (2012) (sold)

Expressionistic nude pastel drawing

There is so much colour to be found in shadows. I hardly use unsaturated colours in them because then it looks so brownish and I can’t relate to that. This found its way to a Chinese collector.

Portrait of a lady (2012) (sold)

Impressionistic portrait of Nicole Kidman pastel pencil drawing

It’s not that often that I like to finedetail a drawing but in the case of portraying Nicole Kidman I liked to see how far I could push my own style of hatched strokes with my Derwent pastel pencils (I hardly use).

Bathing nude (2012) (sold)

impressionistic nude pastel drawing

A classical / realistic approach to realism with a wink to Edgar Degas. It is sold to a Chinese collector.

l’Odalisque (2012)

realistic nude pastel drawing

Many have painted a l’Odalisque but this one is based on a photo by Eugène Durieu (1850’s). I thought even Delacroix used this picture as a reference photo.

Sitting nude (2012)

Impressionistic nude graphite pencil drawing

A prestudy for a pastel based on a picture shot my Man Ray of his muse Lee Miller.
