New Study Piece

Reflecting on this piece to decide which direction to move stylistically.

As artists, we always ask ourselves how do we find the flow in our work method while also selected design elements that express the subject or message we desire in a piece?

In one direction, there is maintaining the mark making and sketched value balance that is working well with the toned paper and letting it evolve as a openly with expression.

A second, the direction could be focused on relating the current marks to added anatomical information to create extreme likeness and accuracy.

I’ll update the photos soon. I’ve decided to working with an intention of merging expressive modeling and anatomical marks. My aim is to paint from the drawing itself, and this will involve a well understood form, in addition to interesting design shapes.

I’m looking forward to it.

Until next time.
