I just came home from a life drawing session. I was flattered by all the comments and attention my art received. It’s encouraged me to sign up and keep posting work myself. Thanks!

    Like I said in one of your partner’s posts, they remind me of Picasso’s line works but yours seem more expressive. Maybe it’s partially due to how you, uh… “create shapes” with the width of the line as well?

      Quite the compliment really, thank you! I have taken some inspiration from him, particularly when I watched the doco of him painting - The Mystery of Picasso (1956)

      His direct approach to painting a line was something I knew I wanted for my own work (like a weird strong urge type thing). I guess that then mixed with an urge to capture the same energy in calligraphy brush work. And then mix that with my love for Egon Schiele, add 10 years of practice and wallah!
