| Monochromatic figure drawing with pastel. The line of movement is set in a geometric triangle. The drape forms a triangle. With a few strokes, the essence is recorded with a firm hand, quickly and accurately. The emotional accents are highlighted with relaxed strokes. Luc-Peter Crombé invokes images from the nude. The nude takes on, by itself and through itself, all the elements of nature: movement, space and lines. The ample knowledge of anatomy is noticeable by the carefully placed fine, detailed lines in the figure. For Luc-Peter Crombé, drawing was a way to develop a quick draft and often offered the necessary preparation to paint. Painting is an autonomous act but to be able to paint professionally, requires regular practice in drawing. |
