Heater Troubles This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 20-04-24 – 1’ is the first I made during this month’s session. Last time we had a man posing for us. This time there was a young woman ‘Bo’. A very fine person to work with. However there were some mishaps. We couldn’t find the heater in the studio. It’s situated in a community center, called ‘De Blauwe Tram’ in Leidschendam, Netherlands. Have someone model without a heater is a serious thing though. In fact, April in Holland is very could. So we cranked up the central heating and have her stand beside it against the wall. Consequently all participants had to stand in front of her in less than a 180 degrees angle. That means a farther distance than you like to have. In front you have a very puny figure even though she was a real fine model to look at. Sitting Position Strange how one small detail can mess up your session completely or did it? We started with a standing position but after 5 minutes she said she almost fainted. Seemed the heating was doing its job a bit to vigourously. We were sweating like pigs as well. Better have her sit down and that was the solution. A better position and way more attractive from an artistic point of view. In order to make up for lost time I worked a bit quicker than most sessions. I think I captured her essential features alright. These contingenties makes sessions like these all the more fun. You never can predict what sketch may come because of unpredictable parameters. Moreover she sat perfectly still. Wonderful job Bo. Thanks and I hope we see you back some day.

Netherlands
1969, born in Nijmegen. My work can be seen in many countries all over the world. Corné employs a variety of styles that all have one thing in common: the ever search for the light on phenomena and all the shadows and light planes they block in. His favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. He states that it’s not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights. Colours are relatively unimportant and can take on whatever scheme. It’s the tonal quality that is ever present in his work, creating the illusion of depth and mass on a flat 2d-plane. Corné combines figurative work with the search for abstraction because neither in extremo can provide the desired art statement the public expects from an artist. Besides all that, exaggeration and deviation is the standard and results in a typical use of a strong colour scheme and a hugh tonal bandwith, in order to create art that, when the canvas or paper would be torn into pieces, in essence still would be recognizable.
