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...

Golden - 29-01-21, Drawing, Pastels on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
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...

Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen - 15-03-21, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
Het Depot Rotterdam's latest acquisition is the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen. There was this online première in Januari 2021 during corona times but it drew less attention than deserved. Upon my word, I declare 'Het Depot' or in slang Rotterdam 'De Pot', a new wonder of the world. Surely it looks like a rather plump shiny pot but it is grand and stacked full of art. Boijmans therefor is the first to offer access to its entire collection in this new art storage...
