Original Drawing - Charcoal of Female Nude -

Description

This original drawing of the live nude female model is charcoal on a cream pastel board (a masonite board w/ a coating that resembles very fine sandpaper). It has been sprayed and can be framed as-it, with or without glass. 12" x 16". Signed by me, the artist.

"The limits of your Language are the limits of your World".

That is a quote from Wittgenstein, and I actually keep that in mind as I draw - while he may have been referring to the written word, I think it can also apply to a "drawing language" - a variety of charcoal marks and charcoal application. From quick repititious line, to slow contour lines, washes of shadow and even to eraser marks, a variety of line makes for a richer drawing. Because I had so much "drawing language" at my disposal, I could create without limitation.
