Trying to find sublimity in simplicity... Here's another blue figure from the Matisse inspired Draw Brighton session a few weeks back. Nicole was inspiring with every pose, intimately aware not just of how her movement would translate into interesting forms to draw but also of how the medium of the camera (this was a zoom session) and her position in front of it might add something different to a drawing. The challenge then: how to capture enough of the pose for it to "be read" by a viewer but not so much that it's overworked or messy. For that, I'm continuing to enjoy the simplicity that Matisse's paper cut blue nudes offer. My drawing aren't paper cuts, though that presents an interesting next place to play. But playing around with finding form while also keeping it dead simple is a fun challenge. The next challenge: I wonder if/how I might be able to translate this approach into sequential images for a comic 🤔 Happy Thursday and I hope you're able to find some simplicity in the sublime... or some sublimity in the simple. _____ #matisse #figuredrawing #sublime #simplicity
