La Langue Verte - 14-12-18, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
La Langue Verte - 14-12-18 I liked the triangular position of the model's body and put her in an Egyptian scenery, thinking of my roundism style relating to hieroglyphics and Egyptian arts in general. I always liked the intense need for styling and I consider the depictions of the human body by the old...

Clairobscur - 06-10-20, Drawing, Pastels on Pastel Sandpaper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Clairobscur - 06-10-20 Clairobscur In 2013 I started this clairobscur lit nude and tucked it in one of pastel maps, only to forget about it for years and years. I remembered I was not quite satisfied by the color saturation and the color scheme itself. It leaned too much on the red and purple side. Besides that, the proportions were slightly off. Mishaps If you become curious right now, I have a whole bag of mishaps loitering about. It is one of the long and winding roads an artist has to take, especially when frantically looking for a style to call my own. In the meantime this kind of impressionism in hatched strokes I did a lot but once in a while it is fun to take it up once again. In fact posting 'Pastel Study 04 (2013)' reminded me to finish this one. Second Chance Sometimes you have to give a pastel a second chance or in other worlds...

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.
