Description

Love at First Sight Last night I had a model session with Julia. Sometimes you come across a woman you immediately fall in love with. She is a great model and warm personality. Besides that, she is an artist herself and graphic designer. We held the session at her home. Our mutual interests, her beauty and my keen artist's eye were premonitions of a wonderful session and so it was. On a picture I already saw she had this enormous round chair and immediately saw the potential. Yesterday was the momentum to have her pose in it and that was love at first sight. What struck me were the angular body structures counterbalanced by breasts, her round face and the circular foreshortened chair. Last but not least she happened to have a special lamp, adjustable through Siri. That was a new thing for a middle-aged guy like me. So, also great lighting. Not Too Grainy At the start I had no real plan what my approach would be. I had been busy last month and so I just grabbed some drawing materials. Mostly the usual suspects like some toned paper and pastel sticks. Those always come in handy. The paper is Strathmore Toned Gray, not too grainy and perfect for live sessions with conté and charcoal. The chiaroscuro play on and around her body was smashing but consequently the lighting on the pastel sheet was poor. I got the bulk of the depiction right but closer inspection after the session learnt I went wrong somehow. Some proportions clearly were off such as the facial expression. It is almost impossible to get a clear ressemblance on such a small scale with fairly big sticks. Some corrections today so she actually looks like the fine lady herself. Rugged and Nice Last pastel drawing I made was Reclining Nude 19-09-21. That one I smoothed out to soft gradients only. In this one, I kept a rougher edge. Normally during these live drawing sessions the stress is put on anatomical proportions. There simply is not enough time to tackle every aspect such as blending and fine detailing. That is just very fine, surpressing my natural fixation on details, leaving me as pray for the abstract beasts. The necessity for abstraction spawns spontaneity and ingenuity though. I had to come up with a solution for the rugged blanket she was sitting on. Soon enough, I discovered using the side of my black cont gave me that speckled look. It represents the rugged look of the hairy structures quite well, I think. Such an invention is like the sun breaking through the clouds.

Corné Akkers, Model Session with Julia 31-12-21, Drawing, Pastels on Paper

Corné Akkers

Netherlands  • 1969

Presentation

Corné Akkers was born in 1969 in Nijmegen, Netherlands. He grew up in a Bohemian environment, during the 70's. This ideal creative atmosphere inspired him and gave him the desire to paint. He trained in painting and drawing.

In his paintings, the artist explores the nude and portrait with several types of analysis and treatments, and doesn't lose sight on how light plays an important role. He combines the figurative style and the quest for abstraction, he plays around with colors and creates vast optical illusions. Not only is his work unique, his paintings shout out cubism but also surrealism and fauvism. They are so hypnotic that they are able to capture the look.

While working as a painter, Akkers also teach art at Voorburg in Netherlands. His paintings have been exhibited several times and sold to art collectors, all around the world.
