Leidschendam – 21-04-19
Today I went to Amsterdam to see Rembrandt’s etchings and on my way how I stopped in good ol’ Leidschendam at the Sluisjes where I quickly sketched this view with ‘De Peperbus’ (an old church) in the background.
Zierikzee – 16-04-19
The first great day of Spring has arrived and my mood for landscape painting and drawing still is growing.
Leidschendam – 11-04-19 (sold)
I am in a spring kind of mood and since my last drawing I see more blossoms although real fine weather is only due for next week.
Vossendijk – 09-04-19 (sold)
The Vossendijk is the place where I was born, situated in Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands.
A day at the beach – 16-03-19 (sold)
This drawing is to celebrate human achievements and imagination in particular. To see one thing in another is something very real, surreal and metaphysical altogether.
Model session – 14-02-19
Last session with my model I wanted to have her pose a little bit more risqué but counterbalance it by keeping the hatched strokes rather rough than to finepolish them into tonal matching strokes that would approach realism too much.
The Peace Palace in The Hague – 04-02-19
The graphite pencil drawing ‘The Peace Pace in The Hague – 04-02-19’ shows this famous building in bold cubist strokes.
Nude – 02-02-19
The object was to do a pastel drawing similar to ‘model session – 17-01-19’ but to keep the hatched strokes rather wide. I also wanted to combine more complementary colour combinations in order to get a greyish look while on the other hand those hatched strokes look very saturated up close.
Isis – 25-01-19
Some time ago I saw underwater excavation pictures of Heracleion, an ancient Egyptian city submerged.
Model session – 17-01-19
This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 17-01-19’ I began last Thursday. My model beautifully arranged in an Andrew Cross composition together with the folds.
