A painting-to-be. Pencil sketch on gesso’d board, so far.
Edit: slightly cleaner image.
I’ve been messing around with these pencil drawings. Adding inks, watercolour and white acrylic. But I miss the grease and ooze of oils. Painting on paper just feels weird.
Figure drawings. (I tend to draw in nearly invisible 2H pencil, so I’ve upped the contrast in Photoshop.)
I have this strange urge to paper the walls of the studio with bodies. I picture the room teeming with figures, looming over the space, a bit like murals in some ancient tomb, except for some reason they’re all faceless and have no feet. I might be working on a potential installation that expresses something poignant about the human condition. Or I might just be drawing myself some company because I’m lonely.
…It can be both.
Graphite on paper, each approx 4ft tall.
Back. Oil on paper.
I’ve been trying to find a new way to deal with bodies. This was initially a lot smoother, more carefully rendered. Then I basically started torturing it with a palette knife and now up close it looks like the whole surface of the skin is bristling with static.
