Model session @ Leidschendam – 14-05-18
A classic model study I did yesterday at Leidschendam, Netherlands.
Roundism – 06-12-17
I was intrigued by the compact forms of the model’s body and especially by the curve of her tibia tot he instep of her foot.

Some months ago I started attending some drawing sessions at Rotterdam where I did short positions again.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Roundism – 29-11-17)
Based on a earlier roundism graphite pencil drawing I made this pastel adding the realm of colours. I wanted the woman appear in a kind of midsummernight’s dream with lots of yellow and blues, girded with some purples and pinks.
Roundism – 24-11-17 (sold)
A new graphite pencil drawing in the roundism series in which I experimented with deformations of body shapes with the purpose of keeping the forms as ‘open’ as possible, so all forms can breathe, flowing from one into another.
Model session @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17 (sold)
Yesterday’s session at Rotterdam offered Gabriëlle, the model of that Sunday afternoon. She had great hip bones and was slender, thus showing great angles and triangles with her body.
Model session 2 @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17
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.
Model session 2 @ Rotterdam – 20-10-17
Another 15 min. sketch I made at the same session of October 15th during a live model session at Rotterdam. This is also pastel on Pastelmat.
Model session @ Rotterdam – 16-10-17
A 15 min. sketch I made yesterday during a live model session at Rotterdam.
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.
