Drawing with a Sculptor's Eye...

With a break from one of the three colleges I am teaching at, I've been able to really get into this new series of drawings I've started.  And the sculpting I've been up to is really changing my outlook! With this I'm planning to push deeper into the 2D intuitive abstraction I have long worked at achieving.  I'm actually using large scraps of paper as my gestural and compositional studies, then taking that work to the gessoed panels hanging on the wall, which are heavily textured.  Often the pose ideas come from simple gestural marks like you see on the left.  From there I am working into the original poses with shifts in the live poses, and photographic sources.  Much of the rest is just intuitive abstraction and imagination.  They change by the hour, and I have no idea what they might become.  Why else would I make them?  That is the fun, and challenging part!
