Nieuwe Veenmolen – 18-11-17

A pastel drawing after the initial cubistic / roundish graphite pencil drawing of the Nieuwe Veenmolen, a mill nearby where I live. I did a lot of these in my roundism style but only in graphite. This one is a search for introducing pastel colours to the style, almost looking like cubism. I broke the greens in the central middle by adding some pinks, relating to the pinks in the sky. I learnt that from impressionists like Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro and Afred Sisley who used pinks in green leafs and grasses as well.

Every day I ride my bike to my studio at Voorburg where I teach my students and there is this great dutch wind mill I pass daily. More dutch than this scene it doesn't get and I wanted to capture this my way, that is in my roundism style which I consider to be the logical continuation of cubism. I did a lot of drawings this way but only in graphite pencil. For the next future I want to discover the possibilities of adding colour to the cubist planes. Not sure though how I will work out the planes though: broken structures or very tightly packed with clean cut defined contours.
