About the Item

Love Doing Landscapes This graphite pencil drawing ‘Clingendael – 16-03-23’ follows shortly after my last one of Castle Wittenburg two days ago. Frankly I just love doing landscapes again. I can’t wait to go outside and see everything in bloom. Nice weather for shorts and a pint on a terrace after scetching. Even though it’s not so dire cold anymore Spring hasn’t arrive yet. April can be unpredictable in The Netherlands as well. Anyway, the next coming 6 months will be grand and I yearn for sunshine that comes with them. Well, I can’t go much further in my present painting in progress. I simply have to wait for my regular model who’s in the art work, to model for me. Just some quick checks and adjustments. A nice time to practise my sketching techniques in between. All about Values This one is also done within two hours. I didn’t want to overproduce it even though the depiction of leaves can be a challenge. Especially when they are stacked behind eachother like in a scenic landscape. Sometimes you can’t make head or tail of where a group of leaves end and another in the back starts. In other words, leaves on a tree in the foreground seem to melt into the background. The more when coloration is excluded and obviously this drawings is monochromous. Therefor I decided to fade the treelines in the back with a stumper a bit. The three trees (actually 6) serve as repoussoirs to push back the meadows behind them. Through the rhythym of light and dark tonal values in the grasses and rhododendrons the attention stays there. I even managed to suggest the barbed wire hence with some cows behind it. Clingendael This drawing is not the first depiction of Clingendael I made. It’s quite near by and I often dwell there, especially in season. The last one was in August 2022. That one depicts the hill and canal in the back of the estate, this one is near the entrance. There is a path that leads to the Japanese garden. That’s the one you see in front of the fence. Imagine yourself walking there. 200 meters farther at the left you will step into the Sterrenbos with the most beautiful forest of rhododendrons in it. When the sun shines right through the trees in May it almost sets the blossoms on fire. Heavenly magenta!

Clingendael – 31-03-23, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head This graphite pencil drawing ‘Clingendael – 31-03-23’follows up my previous one of Delft. For no particular reason I wanted to draw a bit of nature again. Or is it that I long for nature blossoming in Spring? Whereas in the Po Valley, Italy and Spain people scream for rain we get it here in abundance. It’s raining cats and dogs during March and this everlasting wind. Bleh! Then again, March and April in The Netherlands are famous for their unpredictability. For the time being it’s sketching indoors and therefor I draw from the stack of last year’s photos. Lambs in Clingendael There is this specific spot near the entrance of estate ‘Clingendael’ where they keep some farm animals. Besides horses and cows, sheep can also be found there. I never have been a sucker for depicting little lambs, darling ponies and golden retrievers. The spot that marks this drawing was special though. The picture was from last May and sunshine was creeping through tree leaves. All of a sudden a little lamb was caught by the light, just about to drink from the through. Just a lucky shot with the camera I think which comes in handy on a rainy day like this. The moral of the story is this. A subject can’t be corny enough as long as it is lit in a beautiful way. Not the First Time When I come to think of it, I have done some animals only themes in the past. Homage to a Dying...
