Another Live Session This graphite pencil drawing ‘Model Session – 06-10-22’ stems from an earlier session. However, I had a model session with my favorite model on the 6th of October 2022. So, the title is a little deceptive. During these live sessions I make an array of sketches and reference pictures. Many sketches I don’t publish but some are promising for working out further one day. This is such an elaboration. I turned to impressionism again if you would call it that as such. Realism is too wide a definition and I also saw the word ‘tonalism’ passing by. The latter in my ears sounds a bit far fetched, bordering on the absurd. Yet again I struggle to define such a style. By the way, all three ism are defined in the 19th century. I feel lost in my own time or should I say I am ahead of my contemporaries? Seurat Most artists I admire are long dead and gone. Take Seurat for example. Besides this pointillist paintings he was an excellent draftsman. It goes beyond saying I was heavily influenced by his style of drawing. Hefty tonal variations seem to dominate his sketches and drawings. Next to that, his contour delineations almost seem powdery. There are hardly abrupt transitions beween light and dark. Until I start using Ingres paper recently I used both delineating techniques: smooth and harsh transitions. When I drew ‘Het Sterrenbos – 12-09-22’ I saw the potential for trying out Seurat’s artistic conceptions. In the drawing at hand I made sure that there were a lot of smooth gradients. Only in the areas directly lit I kept these harsh and abrupt delineations. The result is beautifully dramatic I think.

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.
