Onder Invloed I
Onder Invloed I – Acrylic on cardboard, june 2023, 30 x 40 cm Made during a lesson by Lydia Nederlof, inspired by the work of Corneille. The assignment was to work freely with colour, animals and simplified, graphic forms. I used these characteristic elements as a starting point, but developed the composition in my own
Evia Brandt
Evia brandt – drawing on paper, september 2022, 18 x 21cm A lesson by Yvonne Zomerdijk, inspired by the early work of Marcel van Eeden. I made this drawing at Lucas Gilde. A small drawing based on a photograph from the newspaper. This exercise was later continued in a larger charcoal drawing.
Shelly
Shell creature – Acrylic on cardboard, april 2023 This painting developed from an earlier shell study. I used the shapes of the shell more freely until it gradually turned into a fantasy creature.
Contrast Study
Contrast Study – Acrylic, june 2022 This piece reimagines the traditional ‘house, tree, animal’ assignment by focusing heavily on color theory. By placing opposing hues from the color wheel directly next to each other, it creates a powerful contrast.
Cardboard Study
Cardboard Study – Acrylic on cardboard, june 2022 This piece captures a portrait of my youngest child, painted on reclaimed cardboard. We tore away the top layer to selectively reveal the ridges and play with those textures.
