Reclining Stretch Female Nude Sketch

Hiya folks! Another gestural sketch off the drawing easel !
Really found the composition of this piece quite appealing, despite the hair reaching right to the edge of the space, it somehow gives a dynamic yet still balanced feel to the piece..

Oil on Primed Masonite / Size : 4.95 x 4.9

Hi guys!.. There's just an amazing energy that comes through a quick gestural artwork, and in this piece that was painted alla prima, I tried to keep in mind the concepts of creating a good gesture drawing.. feeling the gesture, the weight and volume of the models pose in ones bones, as one lays down each stroke.

Painted with a very limited grisaille palette of just Flake White Hue / Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna and Cad Orange ( I didn't have orange so I mixed Cad Red With Cad Yellow), I started off on a gray acrylic toned ground (made with a mix of White, Ivory Black and Burnt Umber).

For the first time however, I can offer more insight than ever in to the creation of a piece with this my first ever proper full length Youtube Video!..

Figure Oil Painting Sketch with Limited Grisaille Palette

Took a bit for me ol' noggin to wrap it's head around all the completely new technical concepts involved to film and edit it ( I haven't even scratched the surface) , however I hope you will enjoy this first attempt!

Decided to try out something different this time with one of my figure gesture studies.. This piece pretty much evolved organically with the different media added according to what was called out for as the piece progressed!

New gesture drawing from one of my practice sessions (2D source). As usual this piece has been mounted on archival Japanese Rice paper to reinforce the papers strength, this time however I decided to have the rice paper over lap the newsprint by about a 0.5 cm as I thought it looks rather nice that way..
Available now in my Etsy store.. :)

A little Beach and a lil' Gesture

So I went a diving in to my old store of holiday pics from the bygone days when I went anywhere at all, and found some snapshots taken on a trip to Tioman Island.. Their beaches are the stuff of paradise, as are many of our beautiful seaside destinations here. The sand as fine as caster sugar and water so crystal clear, one could almost forget the degradation and pollution that would probably have shown up if not for the resorts careful maintenance.

Painted alla prima....

More gesture drawings!.. Simple and direct, drawings like these are best done by feeling the gesture of the model in ones own bones as one draws them.

Hidy ho guys! So I got out and got some sun for once, which took all of 15 paces from my door.. haha!!
Now I kid, I'm not that bad with the sun thing (not that hard in sunny Malaysia!), this was however a first in a long time at doing an en plein air painting, and the weather sure was ideal!..

Lil Toby kept me company (as well as Sherlock and Watson just out of shot!) as I painted this glorious sunlit scene.. :)

Expectations

Another expressive piece combining a mix of media to create a blend of abstract realism. The gestural charcoal drawing of an expectant mother was first fixed from the back with shellac in expressive strokes that would then still be visible in a luminous like effect under the layer of translucent black plaka paint strokes in the front.
The linear accidental effects from the paint caused by the natural puckering of the paper when wet, gives further dimensional layering and interest to the piece..
