    Description

    Under an Hour

    A quick model study, inspired by a photograph by Laure Albin Guillot. After my graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco Nude - 23-08-22’ I frantically worked on my current oil painting in progress. That was until this morning at 10 AM when I got chased out of my apartment by my cleaning lady. Without nothing much at hand I finished this drawing I started yesterday evening when I was waiting for my students. They came early, so I had only the rough set-up. This morning I completed it and kept it under an hour. Such was the initial plan just as the first one in this series, called ‘Art Deco Nude - 05-08-22’. I quite get the hang of it and by now I fully revalue the Ingres paper. I didn’t use that one for decades and I feel like using it a lot more in the future.

    Laure Albin Guillot

    Last evening, after painting all day long, my mind wasn’t set on picking out a suitable motif for a new dawing. So I randomly picked one out. I happen to have that stash of old photographs, some Victorian, Edwardian but also a lot of Art Deco. I didn’t hear from Laure Albin Guillot before but I googled other pictures as well. I can tell you that instantly I became her fan, next to Walter Bird. This kind of photography I like the best. It’s a perfect play of light and dark and never quits to inspire me. I hope I will be able to take similar pictures of my models with better lighting one day.

    Sketchy

    When I started this one I was in for a little roundism. For no particular reason it became rather impressonistic, merely a sketch. Maybe that is due to the rough setup. I didn’t measure proportions too much, relying on skills to see things on sight. It is as if I almost want to provoke myself to make mistakes. I master the art of finetuning proportions by comparing scales and employing thorough anatomical knowledge. That quality also is my weakness like all qualities have two sides. Perhaps I suffer from the fear of rationalizing beauty to death so time for a new mindset. Reviewing this drawing I see that the posture is exact, only some proportions a bit off. I don’t mind. It shows the choices I made and therefor I don’t consider them mistakes.

    Concept

    My ever search is for the play of light and dark. In my eyes life and matter are defined by those two. Regardless of style the light is the leading lady in all my visual stories. Darkness is her dance partner making her shine like a star.
