Commission a portrait drawing

Recent Art

Welcome! My name is Gerrit Guldenhemel. My portraitstudio is based in The Netherlands. I paint, paste, barn and scratch just as long in the chaos until it picks up in a happy harmony, in which all the dissonaten and discrepancies reconcile in a feast of recognition. Meanwhile, the depicted person already than told me a lot and I have found my portrait prepared to do the same to the beholder. Then comes invariably that horrid moment about: No-more-things to do-Gerrit!. I ignore this usually just a couple of days, still work what is in the detail and then it's done for eternity. Check how my impressionistic approach, can keep Your Portrait drawings lively & never labored. Howe I - hope - to capture the complex strength and fragility of the individual psyche in each of my artwork.

Robert ten Brink

Robert ten Brink (Amsterdam, 20 oktober 1955) portretteerde ik in bruin pastelkrijt. Wie kent ‘m niet? De televisiepresentator die ooit als acteur is begonnen en de presentator van programma’s als het Jeugdjournaal, Lingo, All You Need Is Love en Lotto Weekend Miljonairs. Sinds 2006 is Ten Brink werkzaam bij RTL 4.

Dokter Deen – Monique van der Ven

Ergens in de aankomende maand januari wordt de eerste episode van Dokter Deen deel 3 uitgezonden. Monique van de Ven (62) speelt natuurlijk weer de bevlogen huisarts Maria Deen, die naast haar werkzaamheden als dokter nog veel meer betekent voor de inwoners van het eiland. Zij heeft een praktijk aan huis, met een apotheek en een kleine operatiekamer waar zij kleine ingrepen kan uitvoeren. En een gezin met opgroeiende kinderen dat ze tussen alle medische bedrijven, privé beslommeringen en eilandgebeurtenissen door een beetje soepel draaiende moet zien te houden.

Mag dat zomaar Frank?

frank

Bij het maken van dit portret van Mr. Frank Visser (pen, inkt, pastel op papier, afm 32/42cm) ben ik in de wetboeken gedoken en schrijf ik vandaag – geheel vrijblijvend – deze verhandeling over de mogelijke juridische gevolgen van het publiceren van een portret als hierboven. Als het over een schutting gaat is het eenvoudig, we meten de hoogte en waar de erfgrens ligt en pakken dan het wetboek erbij. Maar wat valt er te meten aan een portret? READ MORE...

The Incredible Dr. Pol

Hillary in Oil

I found Hillary in the curves of my spontaneous strokes and the subtleties of pastel hues. Hillary Clinton, oil on panel 50x50cm. Hillary believes the defining economic challenge of our time is raising incomes for hardworking Americans. From her first day in office to the last, Hillary Clinton will fight for you and for more take-home pay so you can get ahead and stay ahead.

Eva Jinek’s – oil on canvas

Oil on canvas this time. Eva Jinek heeft haar draai gevonden als talkshowhost. Ze zit concurrent Humberto geregeld op de hielen. ‘Het is elke dag 55 minuten topsport. Ik ben de hele tijd in een verhoogde staat van paraatheid.’

Hans Dorrestein – dichter in pastel

Leven met vals alarm

A life with valse alarms | Menno Oosterhoff – psychiatrist

Technique used: I drew Menno with a conté pencil and a black inkpen. Then placed him on a base of elephant skin and gave him an alarm light with photopaint.

My love

With this portrait I wrote you a symphony, just to say how much you mean to me. Well baby I’ve been around the world, but Guldenhemel aint seen a more natural girl like you.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear and there is no one there to dry your tears . I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love (Bob Dylan)

Marco Borsato in het krijt

Marco Roberto Borsato (né le 21 décembre 1966) est un chanteur néerlandais et ancien entraîneur à la voix de la Hollande. Borsato initialement chanté en italien, mais seulement vraiment défoncé quand il est passé aux Hollandais en 1994. J’ai lui dessiné à la craie brune le 19-11-2015

Henk Helmantel

One of the likeable sides of Helmantel is his strict rationality in his profession. Does this stand in contrast to his Reformed protestant religious convictions? Not at all. Consistent mono-theism leaves no room for superstition. The effect in this case is very favourable, since most realistic painters think that the Old Masters had better materials than we do. That is not true. Apart from linseed oil, almost all the materials which they used were more unreliable than ours, and only the collective professional experience of generations was able to save them from disasters.

Marvin Gaye – singer|songwriter
