Untitled #134


Untitled #134
24" X 36"
Charcoal on Paper
2013

The model here is a perfect fit for my angular definition of shape. Given the tendency of the female form towards curvature; it's a rare gift to have a model that defies that.

I often work on large 24" X 36" sheets of smooth newsprint for shorter poses which forces me to work relatively fast as there is so much ground to cover. This was only a 20 minute pose from life, so it's a bit of a physical task to work quickly enough to get a satisfactory representation at that scale within the granted time frame.
