Studies 01 (1985)

My sketchbook with nudes and potraits of women. Struggling to learn the trade.
Male model study (1984)

An early attempt to study the anatomy of a person. I remember this one to be a study for my drawing ‘Gladiatores (1984)’.

An early attempt to do realistic nudes. This one is Angie Lynn, a nude model in the 1970s and 1980s.
Victorian lady in red (1984)

A very early drawing after my childhood. I consider this one to be the first sort of grown up drawing.
Log cabin (june 1981)

From September 1979 till June 1981 is was attending the Willem Barentz School at Meijhorst, Nijmegen, Netherlands. I guess it was just a great public school like there were so many to be found and I have great memories of my teachers Gerard van Eck and H.W. Landman.
