Clingendael – 31-08-22

A graphite pencil drawing of a canal in Clingendael, bordered by tall trees whose long shadows fall across the water. Light enters from the left, creating a rhythmic play of tones along the canal’s surface. Monochrome, 31 × 24 cm, by Corné Akkers.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Clingendael – 31-08-22’ reflects my impressionist interpretation of a specific corner of the estate.

Claudia – 06-12-21

cubist portrait graphite pencil drawing

Claudia is one of my talented students and she is about to turn 60 years old. Unfortunately I cannot give it to her personally because a planned surprise party is thwarted by Corona. Some luck however. The drawing will be included in a sort of liber amoricum and at first opportunity next year the party’s on for real. Anyway, I hope she likes it.

Solarized Roundism – 26-11-21

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Solarized Roundism – 26-11-21’ concerns a pose I had my model strike a couple of sessions ago. Strangely it takes me back a year ago when I experimented with solarization during the first lockdown in the Netherlands.
