Description

Straight Up This pastel drawing 'Model Session – 26-03-24 – 2' is the second one of a successful live model drawing session. Location: 'De Blauwe Tram' in Leidschendam. As explained in the art statement to the first pastel it's a great place to have sessions at. Whereas that one showed a reclined position this one I really was looking forward to. So we moved the tables and had model Mike Wolters stand straight up. More or less a quite an academical pose but I had just the right paper in mind for that. Diving deep into my paper stash I was looking for some more Ingres paper. Suddenly I came across some marbled blue velours paper. I remember I bought it years ago at Goedman's in The Hague. Back then my eye was caught by the beautiful marbled structure. Time to put it to good use. Chiaroscuro Boudoir There was a time I used velours paper more frequently. Probably using it for 'Nude – 21-12-16 (sold)' was the last time. Very unforgiven it is, especially for the untrained pastellists among us. There is little room for error because you can't correct or erase lines properly. Thus a matter of carefully calculation proportions. The fun but also challenging part was to be only concerned rendering the highlights. So no contour delineations, even not temporary ones. Besides this technical difficulty laying down strokes with Conté carrés always proofs to be difficult. On velours these carrés are bit too hard. The little hairs simply eject the tiny chalk particles into the air, creating funny vapes. Softer pastels are better but then you have to be sure that these strokes are there to stay. The overall result I like. It's dramatically chiaroscuro boudoir-like.

Corné Akkers, Model Session

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.
