Model session – 29-11-18

This evening I had a great session with my main model throughout the years. She is slender, knows what I want and shows dark skin tones, giving my the possibility to fool around with all sorts of colours.

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.

Model – 01-12-17

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.
