Thought I'd add a few of my latest gestures to my shop!..
These were all drawn with Derwent Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint during various practice sessions. :)

Hi guys! So with a touch of trepidation I got back to this piece and I'm pretty happy it's turned out just as envisioned!.. The nature of this piece I feel lends itself to personal interpretation so I shy away from clarifying my own inspiration as I would like each observer to find meaning in it for themselves, independent of my own conceptual vision.

Honour, Strength and Loyalty in Trois Crayons

I have this lovely archival tan paper I've been itching to use and thought a 'trois crayons' (technique using three colours - sanguine, white and black) would look gorgeous on it...

The shadow patterns on the model were intricately interesting and I loved that she also had a tattoo on the side of her rib cage that spelt out Honour, Strength and Loyalty..

Among the zillions of practice gestures I do, it's lovely when I do create a gesture that I feel has enough esthetic presence as a stand alone piece while being unblemished by any other overlapping gestures that ruins an otherwise lovely piece.

I make it a point not to waste any thoughts creating 'artpieces' during these practice sessions though, promptly screwing up my filled up sheets of drawings, dumping them into the trash, before filling another sheet with even more quick gestures.

I have always loved these types of drawings though, framed and displayed. They require a certain amount of skill to create so quickly well and have an energetic, spontaneous, creative and classic vibe that longer poses can lack.

Thanks for the visit! :)

Had a little fun with the edges of this figure study in oil with some pallet knife gestural sgraffito.

Haven't done a long pose practice session in a long time so it was really fantastic knuckling down to bring this pose through all the nuances that are generally left behind when doing one of my short gesture drawings...

Attention was given to sensitive soft edges (with carefully chosen defined accents ). Without fiddling with the details of the hand in the foreground, the eye is free to be led up and down the figure.. the perspective enhanced by the barely rendered feet in the distance...

This piece evolved from a modeled study of the chair. Modeled studies focus attention on the feeling of weight of the subject, and I tried to develop this thought process further by getting the viewer to perceive the weight/manner of the departed subject, from foorprints left behind alone...
