This is a drawing I did in Figure Drawing 3. We were practicing how to capture movement. We took three poses and combined them into one. Then last Thursday we had to draw the string quartet. That was a little bit of a struggle. If I needed to study the hand to figure out the way it looks when it's gripping bow, I would have to stare at it for a long time because it was always moving. But I think that turned out pretty well, and we're going to try it again this coming Thursday.
Here's a value gesture for Figure Drawing 3.
Here's a painting in progress. I'm painting a figure into a photographed environment. I'm also working on another one (and probably will continue the idea for the rest of the semester). When I finish them I'll take photos of them and explain the idea more.
Everything looks great. The photo with the painted figure kind of reminds me of waking life in a really good way. I can't wait to see some finshed productuts or even more works in progress. Sorry you didn't get into the show, there's never any way to tell what the hell they are looking for.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool, to be able to see your works as they are mutating into finished pieces. I really love the photo-painting idea.
ReplyDeleteYour gestures are really full of life!
