The Hague forest – 23-06-15

Graphite pencil drawing of a tranquil forest scene with tall trees reflected in still water, rendered with detailed shading.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) – 23-06-15’ actually depicts a place quite near. It became a bit of impressionism.

Nude – 17-06-15

surrealistic nude graphite pencil drawing

When I saw this photo for the first time I didn’t know what to think of it. I do not relate to so-called romantic art of ballerinas and dancers striking great poses. Therefor I had to come up with something different and I was intrigued by the pose nevertheless.

Nude – 06-04-15

impressionist nude graphite pencil drawing

After the last graphite pencil drawing I realized something was missing, not the nude of course. That style was realistic or impressionistic, something I am skilled at for a long time now.

Laura – 01-04-15 (sold)

Impressionistic portrait pastel drawing

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.

The Hague (Halstraat) – 12-03-15

impressionist urban graphite pencil drawing

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Hague – 12-03-15 offers an impressionist view on the Halstraat. It’s a small street in the centre of The Hague, Netherlands.

Meyendel – 27-02-15

A more cubistic pastel drawing of Meyendel, following the previous ones. I like this ones better because I dared to put the cubes through the branches so the drawing becomes fragmented.
