Hélène 1 – session 09-01-16
An impressionistic approach to live model sketching with one of my favorite models – done at Voorburg. Netherlands.
Meyendel – 20-12-15 (sold)
This pastel drawing ‘Meyendel – 20-12-15’ is the result of an extended search. Initially, monochrome but turned into cubist colorific splendor.
Pieternella – 18-07-15 (sold)
Commissioned work. They wanted a portrait in a cubistic style. I used velours paper so I could make planes very easily with my Schmincke pastels.
Laura – 01-04-15 (sold)
A commission piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I liked doing the blue in the hair at the left top side, showing the blue sky just outside the window.
Estate ‘Oosterbeek’ – 17-03-15 (sold)
A small park just around the corner where I sometimes wander about. I was struck by the light through the trees and the atmospheric depth.
Meyendel – 27-02-15
A more cubistic pastel drawing of Meyendel, following the previous ones. I like this ones better because I dared to put the cubes through the branches so the drawing becomes fragmented.
Meyendel – 26-02-15
Meyendel is a park to the north of The Hague, near Wassenaar, part dunes, part forest where I like to come often. It is marked by all kinds of trees and especially the pines I love to draw / paint.
Meyendel – 21-02-15 (sold)
I was attracted to the light shing through the needles of the pine, almost making them transparant and blueish rather than showing sharp contours.
Meyendel – 16-02-15 (sold)
A more cubistic pastel drawing of Meyendel, following the previous ones. I like this ones better because I dared to put the cubes through the branches so the drawing becomes fragmented.
Meyendel – 10-02-15 (sold)
Another pastel drawing I made at Meyendel in the dunes just outside The Hague. Being the first drawing after my graphite pencil drawing ‘Meyendel 2 – 12-06-14’ I wanted something different.
