Life Drawing - Standing Female Nude - Drawing by Michael Burgess - 1978

1978

About the Item

Life Drawing: Standing Female Nude, Pen & Ink, with Wash on Watercolor Paper. (Early work) Life Drawing is as primordial as art itself. Often it is more of an exercise as opposed to an intentional, finished work. The use of Pen and Ink, with a Brush Wash, leaves a permanent record of our journey, warts and all. Much less forgiving than charcoal or graphite. It is one of the most honest mediums an artist can utilize, along with Watercolor. This drawing is an example of a 20-minute study, from the model, expressed with as much freedom and spontaneity as I could generate. It's somewhat of a lesson in humility, without any veils. When practiced often enough, it becomes the foundation for more sustained work. There is something very satisfying about an unrestrained approach to Life Drawing. In this case, a short sketch.
