Nude – live drawing session 1 – 26-03-16

More of a styling really but  the main theme in my ever search for a new kind of cubism these last years

Nude – 07-03-16

A classic study of the female corpse in pastel. I put the stress on the high lights.

Nude – 04-03-16 (sold)

A pastel that was lingering about in my studio for years until I completed it. I went for a strong purple / yellow contrast. It’s now with a private collector in China.

Pearls – 01-03-16 (sold)

This was commissioned work and the purpose was to capture sensuality and through cubist forms get the round female shapes.

Nude – 19-01-16

I liked the sausage-form quality of the model reclining on the floor and immediately saw the roundism-styled shapes in it.

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.
