Figure Friday
I went to life drawing yesterday feeling a bit rusty after not gong for about three weeks. I left feeling great! I think maybe I do better work when I can get into a kind of a story with the pose. Yesterday’s session developed a kind of domestic theme (at least to me).
Things started out innocently enough with poses meant to represent a muse — though I saw a kitchen superhero if I just changed the staff to a mop.
But then a jilted lover emerged. I’m pretty sure this is the morning after, and she’s contemplating action.
And I’m assuming this is the aftermath.
I drew these with watercolor pencil so now that I’ve scanned them, I will probably see what happens when I take a brush and water to the originals. I would also like to make versions in fabric and stitch. I have a vision of a whole series of stitchy, sassy, housewives, and these last two drawings excite me to change that sassy to fierce.
The drawings are fantastic! I love the concept of sassy/fierce. I look forward to seeing what becomes of your idea with cloth and thread. Great idea!!!
These are great! Can’t wait to see what happens when you put water on the drawings and then reinterpret them in stitch!
oooh! I can’t wait to see this new series in the flesh…ahem…fabric!
