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
