This is the prestudy for ‘Cubistic nude 01 (2013)’ on pastel. I used velours paper and Schmincke pastels so I could fill up planes easily and make a swift progression, keeping up with the ideas that I feared would be lost if I would set it up to slowly.

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

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.

Second tribute to Man Ray’s surrealistic photos. I wanted to see what the solarized pictures would like if I added some colour to them.
