 Roundism - 07-04-18

When I saw this body position I immediately was charmed by the slanted position creating a dynamic impression, even enforced by the round curves in the calf, triceps, breast and back.

Sometimes one has to look very hard and discover the beauty consealed but with this one it was dead easy. It almost drew itself in one go. I sold it straight away.

Voorlinden - 03-05-20

    Voorlinden - 03-05-20 Sometimes you come across a landscape, in fact an estate in this particular case, you want to know about a lot more. Estate 'Voorlinden' at Wassenaar, Netherlands , just above The Hague, is such a fine example. I drew it back in 2013 where I saw it at a distance and enchanted by this big mansion that looked like as if inspector Morse is just about to solve a murder case in the library. Later I found out that the mansion in fact was modelled after an English country house and that was when I visited it for the first time. It appeared it was opened for public: both the mansion where a lovely restaurant is at, the surrounding area and of course the present Museum Voorlinden , one of my favorite as to contemporary art in the Haaglanden area. If you are in the neighborhood, I strongly advise to visit the estate. I once in a while dwell through the woods at the estate that show a bit of elevation towards the dunes, reminding me to my birthground in Nijmegen.

An introduction to my art

Afbeelding
Friends - 29-07-20 Graphite pencil drawing on paper (42 x 29.7 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers I am completely new to this phenomenon. My primary blog is on my own website corneakkers.com but by chance came across blogger.com today. Let me introduce myself: Corné Akkers, 51 years, living in The Hague, Netherlands and sucker for art for all my life. Consequently I do art professionally for over 13 years now in spite of a detour as a business lawyer. Long ago I came to the conclusion that I am not a lawyer like a whale is not a fish. Being an artist I feel like a fish in the water though. I came along way ever since and now I am living my dream for a long time. Sketching and painting everyday next to my daily art classes where I teach. The first art work I want to introduce you to is of a commission I completed a couple of days ago of a boy with two dogs. It is the grandchild of a former student of mine that passed away. I am open for comments and discussions. That is how I came to do art in t

The Peace Pace at The Hague – 04-02-19

    The Peace Pace at The Hague – 04-02-19 Building In The Hague (Den Haag) The Peace Palace is situated, wherein the The International Court of Justice of the United Nations. The building is impressive and as a lawyer I dwelled there a lot and before that time I visited it as a student a couple of times. I remember a legendary Student Ball in 1993. My girlfriend at that time and I made love in the building itself. Making a Drawing I often pass the Peace Palace by on bike and I also saw it from behind a window at Museum Mesdag. It is one of those drawings that keep on lingering in your mind, until it becomes unbearable. Then it has got to come out. That was on a windy February day and not a good time to outdoor sketching, so I took a photo. My drawing Leidschendam 11-04-19 is rendered in the same style and I am not sure how to call this style. It bears elements of roundism, cubism, impressionism and realism in it. Click here if you want to read further on my website.  Click here
