Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I really like this model because he’s as thin as Egon Schiele’s models and I came all over German Expressionist. We had one of the spotlights on so I was able to indulge myself with some chiaroscuro. I also love extreme foreshortening like this. Great evening 🙂
I drew onto an A3 size canvas sheet that I’d prepared with an acrylic yellow ochre wash. I’d used it previously for drawing but I didn’t like it so I drew this on top. I worked with black and white conte crayons, white oil pastel and a stick of carbon.
Blimey, you are good. I love Schiele’s drawings. Yours captures that style well but is original to you.
Aw thank you 😀
That’s a great drawing
Thanks Martin 🙂
Now THAT is a foot! You are really rockin’ it!
Thank you Gwen 🙂
Your technique seems to improve every time you put something up!
Thank you Lizard Pud 😀
Fantastic! Coming over all German Expressionist can only be a good thing… especially where Schiele’s concerned. 🙂
Oh yes indeed 😀
Fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! Not always sure about your ‘preparation’ but the yellow ochre really makes this. Yes, fabulous indeed!!
Aw thanks 🙂 I hate the tyrrany of white. Once there’s something on it I can let go.
One o my favorite artists
I adore Schiele.
