A classic model study I did yesterday at Leidschendam, Netherlands.
Royal estate ‘De Horsten’ – 02-04-18
A pastel of a treescape at Royal estate ‘De Horsten’ at Wassenaar, Netherlands. This one I did last Saturday for a group of pastel students and limited myself to appromixately 2 hours, synchronizing to the time span of the pastel workshop, in order for them to relate to a quick build-up without throwing too much details like leaves and branches.
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.
Nieuwe Veenmolen – 18-11-17
Nieuwe Veenmolen – 18-11-17
Wouter – 08-11-17 (sold)
A commissioned piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I had to come up with a solution for depicting his pale skin hues and still rendering them too unsaturated.
