A thinker and Nuenen

This is a big (100x60cm) ink drawing from a living (not moving) model. More drawings from this model to come soon.

I am trying to use more colour, but as you can see I'm starting slowly. This is a pastel drawing after a black and white reproduction of an oil painting (Landschap met wilgen) by Vincent van Gogh. It is a landscape in the countryside of Nuenen, where I was born. Though I didn't experience it as dark as mr. van Gogh.
He painted it in April 1884, 43x58cm, the same size as I used.
