As soon as the grape festivals in Overijse start on August 22 to 27, the end of the school holidays is in sight. I would like to invite you on Saturday 24/08/2024, to the Overijse craft market from 10am to 5pm. Here you can view my latest works.
This pastel drawing is based on Panpastel in combination with pastel pencils, a beautiful memory for me from 26 years ago from my son and myself. The photo is therefore an analogue photo that has been scanned and printed out enlarged. So you see that not only the contemporary moments are special, but also that one memory from the past. A beautiful moment to capture in a pastel drawing.
After drawing the contour lines with an HB pencil, I start drawing the eyes.
The skin is given a base of PanPastel, in which I then create shadows and highlights with various pink and beige shades, all obscured with a fine feather. By holding the drawing upside down you can more easily draw the hair, just like the details in the tutje, because you don't want to run your hand over the colors already applied.
The white T-Shirt is based on PanPastel Titanium white. Light gray tones indicate the shadows in the T-Shirt and cap. The jeans pants and the blue in the cap are based on Ultra blue extra dark from PanPastel. The light points in the blue parts of the cap and the jeans were illuminated with Titanium white from PanPastel.
Finally, I definitely want to capture my son's concentrated look, once it fits properly I am satisfied with the result. Hopefully you will be there at the Overijse grape festivals on Saturday 24/08/2024.
