About the Item

Beautifully Arranged This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nina – 23-08-23’ already is the third I made of this gorgeous lady. What’s next I asked myself? Whereas last drawing showed her in her metallic beauty I was not sure whether I should do a similar one. I have a bunch of reference pictures, also one on which she reclines on a bed. That one caught my attention even though it showed a lot of soft tones. However, the composition was beautifully arranged and her bodily features seem to underlign just that. I found soft flowing curves but also detected hard linear and edgy structures studying it in more detail. Enough to stimulate my artistic fantasy. Minimalistically Soon I got the proportions right so I had some extra time to ponder over cubist styling. Implementation of solarisational levels also came to mind. You see, due to the backlighting her body seemed to flow over into the negative space. It made the photographic scenery simply too light. Solarization came to my aid and I didn’t even need to apply a hefty tonal play. I didn’t want to loose the styled legs and abdomen too much. Minimalistically I already liked them and I made sure I left some areas open. This way they would communicate with the space around them. Polka Dots There were two pillows near her feet at the left and also a floor lamp near her shoulder. I skipped the latter. The folds in the lampshade would have competed too much with the lush and volumneus hair. The lower pillow was polka-dotted. On a whim in the end I decided to slighty indicated those dots. Through that I got some contrast with the rather opaque looking planes throughtout the depiction. Balancing out Contrasts The overall goal often gets revealed in the end. This is what I always tell students. There is no true intention than to play and fool around. See what you may get. Maybe it is that I learnt to be patient and listen to my inner voice. That’s not a rational way of listening but a subconsciousness process, whilst playing that is. All in all the piece makes perfectly sense to me now. There are detailly structures in the middle, to the left and the right. There are contrasts in light and dark, different levels of abstraction. I even am suprized of the fact the limbs look very abstract but credible and convincing. I realize that’s partially caused my the more realistic features in her face. Do you concur?

Nina – 09-08-23, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper

A New Model This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nina – 09-08-23’ marks something new. Not the style though. That more or less is my newly found neo deco. It’s all about the model. About two weeks ago somebody on replied to my last oil ‘Neo Deco – 30-07-23’. That person happened to be a model under the name ‘NinaErotique’. You know by now I’m not into sleazy, unartistic nudes. I’m here on earth to celebrate nudity forged by higher beings as the pinnacle of beauty. Not my words but communis opinio amongst artists at the turn of the 20th century. Apparently she happens to think the same way. The result is a beautiful array of tasteful pictures. Some are nudes, other are about fashion and a bit of glamour on the side. I certainly would recommend you to click that link or visit her website. Clothed She has a lovely body and appearance. However, first I was touched by a photo of her sitting wearing a sheer negligee...
