Great Classic Face and Gorgeous Trained Body This pastel drawing ‘Model - 17-05-25 – 1’ depicts a woman with a great classic face and gorgeous trained body. All the more reason to capture her in classical realism. Donica is her name and she is a professional model and contemporary dancer. In fact, quite muscular and she can hold a pose, even extremer ones. However, we as a group decided to do only two long sessions of one hour each in the past. A walk in the park for our model of today. So we discussed two comfortable poses, both on cushions on a table. In municipal center ‘De Blauwe Tram’ it isn’t cold this time of year. Therefor we didn’t even have to put on the heater for her. Challenging Forshortenings There it was, a great angle from my position. A complete view on her facial features and chest with some challenging foreshortenings from the waist down. Just my cup of tea. The cloth she lies on was her own. A kind of black velvet with a nap. Getting the right proportions was easy more ore less. Capturing her exact facial features was a bit bothersome and she repositioned her arms a couple of times. Nevertheless, the final result at the end of this first session was satisfying enough. However, those foreshortened limbs weren’t perfect but I saw the potential to do more. A Whole Lot of Elaboration Back home I set out to elaborate this pastel in my studio. Studying the reference picture I took during the session I saw I could adjust the positioning of the arms. Not that I was completely wrong compared to last session of last month. It was only that she positioned her hands with a much wider space between them. Sadder but wiser I decided to erase what I got. Brutally redoing much of the hands, arms and even her head. Perhaps also a gutfeel that this final position was more aesthetic and pleasant to look at. Luckily for me I work quickly and soon I got the right proportions again. The result is a smooth finish. Maybe not hyperrealistic but even impressionist.

Reclined Position This pastel drawing ‘Model Session - 22-04-25 (Jelco) – 2’ is the second pose of this month’s live model session. A reclined position to top it off. The first session took some toll on our male nude model. Surely he did a fine job, standing straight for an hour holding a stick. That’s a tall order but worth the pose. A strong one, almost a bit agressive and that’s always nice for a change. Women I depict are a lot lovelier mostly. Drawing men doesn’t come natural to me, even though I like to delve into the musculature. Then again, an artist should study many things and persons, regardless what gender, species or form. Troubles are Bound Reclined positions can mean trouble. Well, for many participants during sessions. To meantion some troubles: foreshortenings! They can be bothersome if not mastered thoroughly. Often my students draw what they know rather than what they see and therefor proportions are off quickly. As a trained artist I’m off the hook. Another trouble can be taking position right in front of the model. If you’re unlucky the body looks too much horizontal, leading to compositionary boredom. Luckily I managed to manoevre into a position looking at Jelco in a slanted way. Difficult enough because many body parts looked very foreshortened anyway. Take his left arm (viewed from us) for example. It almost looks ‘offish’, especially compared to the extended impression of the leg running across the paper. Corrections Big Time! At the end of this successful live drawing event I was content. However, I did not finish my pastel. Somehow it looked satisfying yet very rudimentary. Doubts with regard to proportions too, I guess. Back home I compared the reference picture I took with the live result. A totally different look and fear really hit me instantly. I think I was off by a mile it seems. But I measured it all out just nice and dandy, I thought. I know I did but the picture looked better.

Jelco Back Again This pastel drawing ‘Model Session - 22-04-25 (Jelco) – 1’ looks like one of those classic academic poses. With a touch of chiaroscuro though. Back in ‘De Blauwe Tram’ in Leidschendam we had male model Jelco pose for us again. Last time was in October 2024. Our group of live drawers and painters mostly consist of women. Therefor it’s only reasonable to invite a man over regularly. Luckily for us Jelco obliged us with his arrival. Slender, elegant yet muscular. Even though I’m a ladiesman myself I always can appreciate a model with clear set-off muscles. From an artistic point of view you can get hold of a subject and define wonderful planes to render. A Bit of a Letdown This having said the pose I had in front of me was a bit of a letdown. We had him pose on a makeshift pedistone. In order to create a more dynamic pose he holds a stick. This also enabled him to stand on the ball of his right foot. Inspiring enough but the letdown expressed itself in quite a boring lighting really. Aforemeant musculature became too faint, only showing in the scare highlights on the arm and leg. The pose itself was quite alright though. Consequently I knew right from the start I had to elaborate this pastel drawing further back home. So I quickly took a photo while the pose was still fresh. Live models tend to not hold their pose after a while. Ultimately Successful Back home I managed to beef up tonality in the picture by cranking up contrasts. That did the trick and now I was able to see more subtle shifts in tones muscularwise. Last but not least I removed most of the white negative space. That had become too white in an attempt to compensate for a lack of tonality in the body. At the end of the session I found it took chalcky, almost as if he was standing in a cold room. Finally all things were balanced out just fine. Not bad for a pastel done withing two hours.

Bo Again This pastel drawing – 17-12-24 – 1 is the first one of this month’s live drawing and painting event. Held in municipal centre ‘De Blauwe Tram’ in Leidschendam as usual. This time we had model Bo come over who couldn’t make it last time. Then we had her friend Jens, a great model in his own right even though it was debut. She on the other hand is an experienced model and sits for us regularly. Last Time Last time I remember I drew her in two reclining positions. Especially the second session at that time I found my view on her challenging. During a live session it is hard to create a resemblance to her facial features in such a position. When someone’s face is positioned horizontally you have to tilt your eyes 90 degrees in order to check that resemblance. That is very tiring. Besides that, to me these sessions are not about the clear and sound likeness of a portrait. Bar Stool Seated A bar stool came to mind. There are plently of them to be found in the De Blauwe Tram. For no particularly reason we didn’t come up with this idea before. It proved to be just perfect. A great vertical position with her hand over the back of the stool. Her legs a bit were positioned a bit slanted downwards. Finding the right proportions wasn’t too difficult. Therefor I had plenty of time to finetune all highlights in her posture. Afterwards Bo said she looks like a younger version of herself. To me Bo still looks young in my eyes. Back home I changed my signature though. Perhaps a bit too big and presumptuous for a study and and artwork I can put up for sale. The reason is I find it good enough for doing so.

Woman in a Red Kimono – 02-07-21

Woman in a Red Kimono This drawing of a woman in a red kimono is based on a session with my regular model. It so happened that I teamed up with a student of mine who rents a lovely studio in The Hague. Much bigger than my own studio it was perfect for model sketching, also because of the lovely sofa she has. Another student could bring along a smashing red kimono. Since I was busy doing my short Geesje Kwak series this came as a great opportunity. Time to take a little side step and do this one while Geesje still is on my easle. A New Love for Realism Perhaps it is an understatement to say I have no particular love for realism. However, there are some reasons to deviate from this. I already had a cubistic work in progress and frankly I was keen on studying satin textures and folds. Another reason was the model and textiles around her seemed to merge into eachother from a tonal point of view. Abstracting them would not have turned for the benefit of them all. Moreover, I was attracted to the subtle shifts in tonality of it all, almost embedding the model in the negative space perfectly. Boxing in the Motif The lower part of the composition showed a lot of dark plains, due to the satin turning dark there. The background in the top section was a little too light so I decided to darken that one up. This way the model and the fabrics are boxed in to the centre of the depiction. This position came early during the session and I think her face still was in cheerful expectation of the pose we would choose. Sometimes these not premeditated casual expressions are the best. Anyway, back to my oil painting for the rest of July.
