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.

- OdalisqueBy Jolanta JohnssonLocated in Boxholm, SEJolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about the drawing: In my intimate drawings, I capture what is closest to me – the private moments that I would hardly want to reveal. And yet, I choose to share them with my audience. The motif of the odalisque, a reclining woman, has long been a popular subject in art. Throughout history, numerous artists have embraced this theme, and some of their paintings depicting reclining women have become iconic, shaping the course of art in their respective eras. Art historians have extensively written about the influence of these works. Notably, the odalisques created by the French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, such as his renowned piece “La Grande Odalisque...Category
