"J" A Few Days Past






“J” A Few Days Past
A coupe of days ago she danced, made a stand, pondered, acting out each pose. I sketch each performance, like a million times before.
1st: 24”x 18” gestures in graphite, sanguine and colored pencil
2nd: 16”x 18” graphite
3rd: 9”x 12” ink on toned grey paper

  1. She moves so gracefully across the paper...then comes to rest in stills that breathe life and catch the light. I am aware of her heartbeat and her every tiny muscle movement...I have come to know her so well...:)

    1. So well expressed. You’ve made the session so much more exciting.
      I have come to know her well too. I draw “J” so often.

    1. The song is in the background tempting her to dance, as she becomes a statue for moments at a time so we can draw her.
      Thank you

  3. The first picture makes me ponder: what if we could record graphically all movements of our body/or another during the day...
    Second shows the character very bold and expressive, and yes you said: she danced.
    Third - silent concentration, such a focusing within...

    1. Oh yes she can portray all you express, or imagine. The challenge here is being as able to translate all she can do onto paper.
      Thank you
