An Abstract Expressionist Experience


So I was drawing a model for a few weeks and needed to break away from the form and draw something human like. Especially since the model was offering a lot of body builder poses that I was not too interested in. The process started as just drawing different poses on top of one another. Than to integrate it into a composition I had to pull the forms together somehow. I tried to engage more fully in the physicality of making a drawing but I obviously could not break away from my mannered hand. This is a mixed media piece with charcoal, wax crayon, sharpie, ink, and soft pastel. 18x24
