Model Session – 16-10-20

After my sketch of Louise Brooks – 10-10-20 I wanted to do more in my hatched strokes style. Yesterday’s model session offered me the opportunity again to draw with a live model in front of my eyes.

Louise Brooks – 10-10-20

Just a quick sketch of Louise Brooks, moviestar and celebrity of the 1920s and 1930s.

Schiedam – 09-10-20 (sold)

This colored pencil drawing ‘Schiedam 09-10-20 (Sold)’ shows my impressionistic view on the city. Water reflections are always rewarding.

Clairobscur – 06-10-20

In 2013 I started this clairobscur lit nude and tucked it in one of pastel maps, only to forget about it for years and years.

Beek-Ubbergen – 01-10-20

Beek-Ubbergen again and 50 shades of pink in honour of the fact that colour is highly underestimated in landscapes and outdoors in general.

Beek-Ubbergen – 28-09-20

Beek-Ubbergen

Just outside Nijmegen towards the German border there are two places of beauty called the Ooij Polder and the start of the ‘Nijmeegse Heuvelrug’, part of the Lower Rhine Heights.

Noteboompark – 18-09-20

This colored pencil drawing ‘Noteboompark – 18-09-20’ is a bit of impressionism in my hatched strokes style. I kept a rough edge.

Golden Reality – 14-09-20

My last drawing was slightly cubistic but today I did this realistic one, that I would like to name ‘Golden Reality’.

Bedside Moonlighting – 31-08-20

My model and I were looking for intesting poses and on the bedside there it was: a beautiful one with some interesting lighting. Sometimes extreme light like in this particular case can offer a new insight in compositionary possibilities.

Batenburg – 02-08-20

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Batenburg – 02-08-20’ depicts a place not far away from were I was born. A bit of beauty in impressionist hatched strokes.
