Expressionistic nude pastel drawing

Yesterday’s session at Rotterdam offered Gabriëlle, the model of that Sunday afternoon. She had great hip bones and was slender, thus showing great angles and triangles with her body.

Model session 2 @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17

cubistic nude pastel dawing

Short positions at live model sketching took me back to reinvent my way rendering human bodies and together with my new found Pastelmat by Clairefontaine I was able to experiment with new ways.

Wouter – 08-11-17 (sold)

Impressionistic portrait pastel drawing

A commissioned piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I had to come up with a solution for depicting his pale skin hues and still rendering them too unsaturated.

The sheik of Araby – 15-10-17

A surreal graphite drawing where a reclining nude female figure forms the contours of a desert landscape, with actor Rudolph Valentino depicted as the sheik on the right and a camel caravan moving below her body.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Sheik of Araby – 15-10-17’ is in honor of moviestar Rudolph Valentino. Originally a jazz song, now an artwork.

Nude – 01-10-17

cubistic nude colored pencil drawing

A rather loose cubistic sketch done with colour pencils. For the 4th time in a row I used the same (indian) model. Her skin allows me to use a lot of yellow which I counterbalanced with edgy purple planes.
