Draw Club is enjoying extra company lately, and last week generated this little beauty.
With pen & ink on watercolour paper, and the first longer pose presenting a dynamic twisting drape juxtaposed with cascading wavy hair, I set to and was pleased with the result.
Other artists I know will pay for a private model and put out a series of paintings which generally find a gallery and receptive market. I wonder whether to do the same. People love nudes. Especially female nudes composed tastefully.
But I get the feeling that it is too easy, like selling sausages in bread or trinkets at a fete.
I do not think that I've challenged society or shaken the dominant paradigm of environmental perception and so forth.
It's just a beautiful, soothing yet stimulating, picture of simple aesthetic merit.
