About the Item
Born from Pure Intuition This pastel drawing ‘Flow of Life – 18-07-24’ is a piece born from pure intuition. Inspired by a beautiful 1930s picture taken by Walter Bird. You see, I had it in me to kickstart sketching again after a tedious job I had to complete. Last month I was busy changing my permalinks on my website. That was a lot of work and I hope it’ll work for the better. Such a drag and I realize these kind of tasks weren’t bestowed upon artists in the past. So much for Van Gogh who only had to throw a couple of paintings on a train to Theo. Then he could get his leg over with some public ladies in Arles. Enough complaints! I have the internet, a daylight lamp, toilet paper, cold and hot water and a ton of reference pictures. On a Whim After the last one I wanted take up my pastels. Upon my word, what a wonderful medium it is and remains! Actually, on a whim I decided to make something out of Walter’s photo. That was yesterday around 5 PM, two hours before I am about to teach at Brugman Art in Voorburg. Last pastel drawings I began there on a Wednesday. However, this time I thought it would be more comfortable to start the pastel in my own studio. No need to transport it by car back home. Didn’t mind measuring out things too much. Instead I trusted the flow. The beginning was quite easy because I was heavily attracted by the gesture of the hands. Somehow I suspect Walter Bird had his model pose as if the hands flow like hair flows. Without any effort Or could it be that it’s just my own interpretation? We’ll never know since he passed away in 1969, my year of birth. Anyway, that’s my interpretation of it all. Delving further into the matter I let this idea of flow marinate a bit more. Letting go of all cumbersome website activities I got into a flow state really. Many artists know these state of mind. Athletes know it as the zone. Hence, the title ‘Flow of Life’. To conclude this art statement, in the past I faced many difficulties in the creational process. Often artists have to come up with solutions in a dead-lock situation or anxiously looking for a ‘hook’. Not this time. The pastel almost seemed to arrive in one go without any effort.

Neo Deco – 03-12-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Bristol Again This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco – 03-12-22’ follows after a couple of colored pencil drawings. These were fun to do but I wanted to get back to basics and to me that has always been black and white. There was another reason too. Some months ago I drew ‘Art Deco Nude – 05-08-22’ on Ingres paper, which I didn’t use for a long time. Next to the love for Ingres I was a bit worried how my new Faber-Castell pencils would react on Bristol paper. I did a couple of tests then on demand of Brugman Art who gave me these to try out. Initially they felt a bit sticky on Bristol and a bit too smooth. Today I have to withdraw this statement and replace it with newer and better experiences. Gradients My major concern was whether I could get smooth tonal gradients such as the ones in my Roundism series. Now that I tried to combine Pitt Graphite Matt with Bristol I see I can. The gradients are just fine whereas I can blacken the paper even more than with regular graphite pencil. It is even susceptible for rubbing out. Furthermore it gives me the ability to find heftier expressions, covering the total tonal bandwith from pure black to pristine white. Neo Deco The artistic motif itself was yet another smashing Walter Bird photo...
