I did this during a zoom session on May 6th 2021. The session was with Model Guadalupe Monte @guadi.mon and hosted by Modelos para Arte en Vivo @dibujo.al.natural1. I loved the session, the lighting was perfect.
I have great interest in figure drawing. I started studying the art in 1982 while I was studying at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende. The body is a pure expression of our humanity. We all can relate to the grace and beauty of the human figure and at the same time use the body to express angst and strife. As human we are in this condition together and my goal to to express that in my art.
Charcoal drawing consist of vine, compressed and pencil charcoal materials. The image is created by adding and removing the charcoal until the image is draw to my standards. The result is a dramatic scene contrasted by the black charcoal and white of the paper. My hope is that the tactility of the original markmaking and luster of the charcoal creates an exciting effect for the purchaser of these drawing.
