http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein.html I met Anne van Grevenstein, Director of the Limburg Institute (SRAL) in the The Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University (AMSU) course Historic Painting Techniques in Oil: The Confrontation between Rembrandt and Rubens (18 August—24 August, 2007). Anne was a benevolent watchful presence, guiding participants with a gentle wise hand. I am grateful to her for her careful organization of such a complicated enterprise. Her physiognomy intrigued me; it reminded me of types pictured by sixteenth--century Low Country and German artists. My initial intention was to do a silverpoint drawing, using cross-hatching and other drawing techniques of the period, but I found myself preferring pencil. The pencils used were Faber—Castell 9000 3B, Faber—Castell TK 9071 5B, and Stabilo Schwan 8046. The paper is a sheet (9” X 12”) of Central Clay Coat, New York Central Art Supply. The drawing was done from a rather indistinct digital photograph. This is the first drawing I have made from a photograph of a living person; all other portraits have been done from life. In the future I will rarely attempt this again; I favor flesh and blood, and interaction between the model and myself. http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein.html#0 3d6d5c33-82dd-4cb2-a0bd-69bead5506f7 http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/img125.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/img125.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_2"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">October 16, 2007</p></div></div> http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein.html#1 6d994cf4-b74e-4213-a36d-a44d34fbaeeb http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/Grevenstein%20det.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/Grevenstein%20det.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_2"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Grevenstein detail</p></div></div> http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein.html#2 1f49ddeb-cd57-4e95-b402-a8183a1bd049 http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/Grevenstein.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/Grevenstein.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_2"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">September 30, 2007</p></div></div> http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein.html#3 24c41fb4-2677-4402-b32f-d4bd4ddcdf3a http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/IMG_0841.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/profkoslow/Susan_Koslow/Grevenstein_files/Media/IMG_0841.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="style_External_0_0"><div class="style_2"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">August 2007</p></div></div>
