It would be great to get the sort of dynamics of a live model captured this way, so keep your fingers crossed for me.This is a subreddit for artists who particularly enjoy drawing and/or are interested in sharing their techniques as well as other's. Today's figure drawing plan is to make a smaller, more complete drawing on Rives and to try this again, hopefully to get a complete piece out of the methodology. I also like the midground shellac very much, and am planning on using it in other places as well, most notably my metalpoints on mylar.
I allotted myself the kind of time one would have in a workshop, just to see what could be eked out in an all out push, and am very pleased at the distance one can go. (I'll find a link for him.) In that process, I came across a description of workshop he did at PAFA, and saw this method of shellacing a life drawing on BFK, and then going from there to anywhere, and I said to myself- you have plenty of Rives, and shellac holds a near and dear place in your heart, so give it a go. I thought about it- John Currin came to mind, who is oddly fascinating, Robert Liberace, Daniel Greene, and last, but certainly not least, I settled on Vincent Desiderio. So.fortuitously, my instructor, Elizabeth Leeor had directed us to take a look at other artists currently working in the figure and to articulate what drew us to them. Some of my best pictures from Rob Liberaces recent Velzquez to Sorolla. With distinctively animated strokes, Tames cityscapes remind us of the teeming, bustling life in famous cities. I don't have a photo reference, and I don't want to just make it up. I lay in the initial drawing with Conte pencil and then make the lines more. Van Tame is an Vietnamese-born French painter, is able to capture the vibrancy of cities like New York and London, in his energetic and dynamic paintings. My figure drawing class comes into play as well- so many drawings, and it's not even mid term but I'm feeling like I need to do more than what I can jockey out of my crayons in class. Then there is my magpie like attraction to tubes of pretty paint-color, color and more color- and the knowledge that I know that I can squeeze a lot more out of just a few, but I've never bothered to really push for the possibilities inherent in let's say, a tube of burnt sienna. My father's university work took place pretty soon after the end of WWII, in a city that had been bombed to the ground, and I always wondered what that was like, and my take away from his experience is that one really and truly does get what one puts into it. Let's start with the little MFA program that could, which is an example of doing more with less in and of itself. The workshop was organized with both lecture periods and time to draw. Looking at all the major muscles that make up the torso and their points of origin and insertion. The focus was on the anatomy of the torso, and we covered a lot of ground over the three days.
So- here are some of the whys.not in any particular order, but they're all a factor. Hello, This weekend I attended a workshop at the Art League taught by Robert Liberace. The substrate is Rives BFK, the underdrawing Conte, sealed with a couple of coats of shellac. More later on the why's, but the idea was to work with limited resources- one brush, titianium white, burnt sienna, yellow ochre and mars black, 45 minutes of model time and no additional references, and then another couple of hours to paint and then see how far I could go. Icarus by Robert Liberace Leading the revival of realism in the visual arts, the Art Renewal Center (ARC), a 501(C)(3), non-profit, educational foundation, hosts the largest online museum dedicated to realist art only and includes works by the old masters, 19th century, and contemporary realists as well as articles, letters and other online resources.
