Drawing to Painting
The drawing was done in life drawing. I use the drawings as models for paintings. Here I’ve paired up a drawing to a painting. When I'm drawing it's much like just a state of mind with an arm and a hand attached. Very loose and free flowing, very unconscious.
What happens is I do the drawings, many more then I actually need. Then I edit them down to the best ones and use them as models for the paintings. That's where the deliberate part comes in. I like to think of it as a balanced ying & yang thing.
