About the Item
A New Model This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nina – 09-08-23’ marks something new. Not the style though. That more or less is my newly found neo deco. It’s all about the model. About two weeks ago somebody on replied to my last oil ‘Neo Deco – 30-07-23’. That person happened to be a model under the name ‘NinaErotique’. You know by now I’m not into sleazy, unartistic nudes. I’m here on earth to celebrate nudity forged by higher beings as the pinnacle of beauty. Not my words but communis opinio amongst artists at the turn of the 20th century. Apparently she happens to think the same way. The result is a beautiful array of tasteful pictures. Some are nudes, other are about fashion and a bit of glamour on the side. I certainly would recommend you to click that link or visit her website. Clothed She has a lovely body and appearance. However, first I was touched by a photo of her sitting wearing a sheer negligee. She has great long auburn hair flowing down from her head into curly structures. Her face ‘en profil’ looks very angelic. You’ve got to embrace happiness when it present itself. Consequently this one had to be the first work I created of her. Even though the artistic motif has a lot of muted lighting the background sets her off perfectly. So, there you have it: all the fine ingredients to create a work of art. Then again, artistic troubles are bound … Tonal Troubles When you set out to draw or paint it’s all about measuring proportions. Get them right, tweaking them anatomically. Often I can spot some cubist forms I can play with right away. This time there was no exception to these principles. However, I soon realized the hair, attire, facial expressions were only depicted in the smallest of tonal bandwidths. In the statement to my last drawing I expressed my concerns about forms becoming too lumpy. Hence, I took extra care to avoid that at all costs. Let It Breathe This time also I let positive forms breathe into the negative space. Next to this I kept the overall tonality not so low, resulting in a lighter depiction than the motif itself. Last but not least, I only applied a mild cubist styling. The forms the hair, face and negligee offered were so hybrid that I didn’t dare to abstract them too much. Nevertheless my hand is recognizable and so is Nina.

Roundism - 30-12-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Last One This Year This graphite pencil drawing ˜Roundism “ 30-12-22 is the last one of this year. After Neo Deco “ 25-12-22 I wanted to end this year in the style that brought me success the last decade. One could also argue that I just dont know where this particular style is heading for anyway. Surely I have this other thing, called ˜Neo Deco but I am not sure yet where this is going. Recently I wrote about my uncertainties with regard of serving something old as a new style. That is how it feels like, sort of. Maybe its just that I am trying to forge something out of dusty air of a bygone era. Its definitely a topic I want to delve much deeper into in 2023. For now I named all things round ˜roundism and cubistically straight things ˜neo deco. A pretty daft distinction perhaps. What do you think? Golden Ratio The motif for this actual work was derived from a reference picture taken by Walter Bird. The last one I used one of his photos for was Art Deco Nude “ 23-08-22. Even though the style of photographing is typically art deco I think his work stands out compared to many others. Not only did he use heavy doses of light and dark but also cropped nudes within the frame nicely. The result is a perfect bodyscape image. Due to the striking roundness of the breasts and tilted body position I thought drawing roundish shapes were almost unavoidable. I spotted some nice curves I extrapolated outside the female form. The ones besides her hip culminated into the golden ratio curves. A suitable ending for this year. The ending and the beginning of something entwined, as it should be. So is my search for the eternal and essential in the temporary. Graphite pencil (Faber Castell...
