3rd entry for August 7, 2009






These were 15-minute poses.

For the last few months I have been quite partial to these very direct figure studies. They have been done first and foremost for the sake of the experience, but more and more they seem worth exhibiting in their own right. I am showing some similar drawings, done on Japanese paper at a show at the Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts this week, opening on August 20th. A description of the raison d'etre of the show - which is entitled "Go Figure" can be found here

I think it is a good acknowledgement of the role that figure drawing plays for a number of visual artists.
