Hidden
in Shadows
“E”
modeling in the round. The light was behind. Her shoulders, buttocks and thighs
were glowing I’m sure for the artists on the other side. I did enjoy the
challenge though, trying to find her, hidden in the shadows.

Bonjour cher Anthony,
ReplyDeleteChercher la lumière qui vient parcimonieusement caresser la peau de votre modèle... Le jeu est intéressant.
Très jolis croquis.
Gros bisous
I enjoyed the challenge.
DeleteThank you
this is awesome, still I prefer the shadows, so much harder to really be seen, although I love how you use the light to paint her again it's rather excellent
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThere is something to be sad for being in the shadows safely hidden for the light. Sometime more is exposed than we would like☺
When she is in the shadows, my eyes strain to see her clearly...I look intently and see exactly what I expect to find.
ReplyDeleteThe shadows always add intrigue...they reveal only partly what is there, so the rest is up to the observer's imagination.
I love that...being able to, in a way, become co-creator of a work of art, as I strain to read her expression and interpret her mood.
In the light, she seems more "open"...more communicative...and I can see beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is happy in her own skin...:)
Drawing in the shadows is sort of the same. Making decisions what to emphasize, soften, or ignore becomes the challenge. It’s much when the light points out the obvious attractions..
