About the Item

Golden - 01-02-21 One Color is No Color This pastel is in line with my previous pastel drawing 'Golden - 28-01-21' but that one looks rather monochrome. Time it was to add some more colors and define relations between them. After all, that is what color is all about. One color is no color. Two colors show relations. One says something about the other and the other way round. Three colors define nine relations and so forth. The more color the more complex a work of art can be, almost to the unbearable. Colors and Saturation The initial goal was to start with the yellows and brownish oranges and see what might turn up. I soon discovered that these colors and a wide tonal bandwidth only brought me something similar as my latest. Therefor I introduced some greens and blues. They brought some relief but I still needed a couple of purples in order to balance the yellow more radically. Thereafter I played around with different degrees of color saturation. Albeit colorful in essence, real saturated colors are scarce in this pastel drawing. These easily can lead to inflation and consequently to a screaming depiction causing tired eyes. That is why I used a lot of yellow but the areas are very light and thus less saturated. The drawing does not seem to match the title but in fact I used gold pastel patches a lot in this one. Perhaps they show more in the video. The Result Even though I am the creator I still find it fascinating what the final result is. It turns out to satisfy my expectations to some extent but also surprises me. The atmosphere and the feel is totally different from the original graphite pencil drawing Roundism -26-10-19. This having said, I like the color balance I achieved and that is what I set out to gain.

Golden - 29-01-21 Addition to the Series After my previous pastel drawing I decided to do a totally different one. Not in hatched strokes but smoothed out I had in mind. My graphite pencil drawing 'Roundism - 31-03-20 (sold)'served as the motif. I was to execute it in bigger format anyway and thought that it could be an addition to the Golden Series. Yellow Since the start of my quest in pastel I did not work on yellow paper very often. For some reason yellow is very hard to work with, certainly because it is so dominant. I once read that Carel Willink...

Golden Cubism - 21-02-21, Drawing, Pastels on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Real Cubism This pastel Golden Cubism – 21-02-21 is the first real cubist drawing in my Golden series. After my last pastel drawing Lakshmi – 16-02-21 I realized I only made pastels in my Roundism style. The last one in that style was ‘Golden Lilac – 07-02-21’. What if I would return to the initial form of cubism I employed back in 2014. Besides that, once in a while my preference is to put the stress on angular forms rather than round ones. Variety is the spice of life...
