RE: Study drawing, a girl with a red blanket
well... that's why you do the study right? To find out... but in the oil painting you won't really be able to keep the drawing underneath visible - this is something I have a dilemma with - I do a drawing - and then I have to decide if I am going to obliterate the drawing I LOVE for the painting - I have tried to leave the drawing showing but it just does not work the way the drawing alone works but as a drawing - most people don't really SEE it as they would a painting - it's an artist's dilemma I guess. i looked at your website - WOW!!! Fantastic... I especially like the ballerina feet painting - very STRIKING and also such a statement of our culture today - no one knows what goes on behind the scenes - we are sanitized.
Drawing for me is an essential part of my work, when drawing, I learn about shapes, proportions, shadows and composition about the subject I want to paint. Drawing is not a goal in itself, it is a way to find the right path to do a work.
I show the drawing here to teach how I achieve to an artwork and to show some of the stages before it.
Thank you very much for your comment and for the visit to my page.
I'm glad you appreciate my work.
Yes, @jorgevandeperre - I understand your point of view. I am also an artist, but I do not work as you do. My work is not from life. I work from my intuition and imagination so I don't sketch or study. I am able to appreciate what you do - because your work is very beautiful - I like especially the surreal paintings... thank you for sharing your process with us.
