“Self Portrait with Honesty” 24 × 18 inches, Crayon on paper
This is a handmade, original work of art NOT A PRINT and NOT AI GENERATED
FREE SHIPPING Shipping takes 3–4 Weeks This ships from San Carlos, California (The San Francisco Bay Area). I use UPS and sometimes US Post.
In this drawing I portray myself standing nude, wearing my glasses, with my arms at my sides. The slight tilt of my head and shoulders interrupts the vertical bands behind me. A kind of awkward contrapposto. I’m not really comfortable in my body but at times I am still a fully athletic active body. The figure fills most of the image, with the legs continuing beyond its lower edge.
I’m using drawing as a way to experiment with the figure and with mark making for my larger paintings. I see them as both a finished product but also an intro into my painting process. I have been leaving the underdrawing in some of my paintings exposed or partially hidden.
Much of the drawing is built from overlapping crayon marks. Curving lines describe the chest, belly, and body hair, while broader areas of shading give the torso and legs their weight. Light areas of paper remain between the marks. The dark shapes of the glasses give the face a different kind of emphasis from the looser drawing across the body.
You can follow both the figure and the marks that describe it. Some edges are firm; others break apart into lines and shading. The drawing leaves that process visible rather than smoothing everything into an even surface.
