Ethel was executed in 1953...she was innocent...she was at the eye of the storm of Mccarthyism....an icon...this drawing is taken from a rare photo of her during WW2..I love her look of determination and bravery...and the fact that the profile shot is portent of her looking bloated and stressed in her horrible, pitiless mugshot a decade later...her children have rightly been tireless in their efforts to have her rightfully exonerated...a great shame Obama got close but ultimately didn't have the balls to do it...or stand up to Assad either, for that matter -

Roundism – 17-09-18 This is the fourth drawing of model Julia Gómez Alivés in which I combined my roundism with colors. I washed them a little bit with a Sakura water brush that works like a fountain pen. I am not a great watercolorist and since this technique is pretty new to me these watercolor pencils allowed me to take a position between a colored pencil drawing and a watercolour painting. Perhaps I do more in the future. Watercolor pencil drawing (Faber Castell – Albrecht Dührer) on Strathmore Drawing paper (21 x 29.7 x 0.1 cm - A4 format) Artist: Corné Akkers -
Julia – 11-09-18 The third drawing of Julia Gómez Avilés rendered with colour pencils. Last week I bought a great collection of Prismacolour pencils that brought me great joy using them. I used one of the reference pictures I took during the session with Julia last August and employed some styles like impressionism, cubism and realism and combine them. Due to my pointillistic lines that through the process of divisionism create merged colour impressions, I could not use brownish and greyish pigments. The result would otherwise appear to become mud. The result is also luministic I think. Colour pencil drawing (Pentel 0.5 mm, 3B) on Strathmore Drawing paper (21 x 29.7 x 0.1 cm - A4 format) Artist: Corné Akkers -

Influence of pictures on the person
In our time it is considered almost a sign of a good tone to have in the house, real author's oil paintings, and not cheap and poorly (or even badly) conveying the color and texture of the original lithograph.
The fact that artistic images, especially paintings, have an energy impact on a person and his condition has been known for a long time.
The picture radiates the total energy, which in turn affects our subconscious. This naturally entails a change in our reactions and actions. The total energy consists of the color scale of the picture, directly the picture itself, as well as the energy invested by the artist in the picture. Much depends on the color scheme of the picture. As you know, a person reacts very sharply to different colors. Here it is necessary to represent the connection of the basic colors and emotional state of a person. Accordingly, if the picture is dominated by more than any specific color, then it exerts a greater influence on the person. Therefore, it is better to choose pictures of light shades, so that when watching such an image it becomes easy and free at once. Scientists and psychologists have long proved that the pictures are capable of lifting mood, calming and even healing.

Model - 01-10-17 A rather loose cubistic sketch done with colour pencils. For the 4th time in a row I used the same (indian) model. Her skin allows me to use a lot of yellow which I counterbalanced with edgy purple planes. I kept the focus on the right side and left the part of the legs on the left side open in order to give it that sketchy look.

Roundism - 28-09-17 When I looked at the hand streched out on the bed I immedately knew what to do. It looked like a styled wave. Besides that I liked doing the body in an a very smooth finish with a slow gradual tonal threshold from ultra dark to very light.
