Arm Raised, Loose Shirt
Arm Raised, Loose Shirt. A clothed portrait study after Schiele: nervous broken contour, patchy gouache wash, and large areas of bare paper left as the ground.
How this was made
This piece began with a photograph and a written instruction. Both are kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.
THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS
PROMPT
POSITIVE: Repaint this photograph as an Egon Schiele portrait drawing, Vienna c. 1915, in the manner of his clothed portrait studies. Three-quarter-length study of a young adult woman standing upright, one arm raised and bent with the hand resting at the back of her head. Fully clothed and modestly covered: a loose pale blue-grey button-through shirt, fastened and closed at the front and untucked so it fully covers the torso and waist, worn over pale denim trousers. Strictly non-sexual and non-erotic: no nudity, no visible underwear or lingerie, no bare midriff, no exposed chest, no suggestive emphasis. Tense, guarded posture and a wary watchful expression. Nervous angular broken black ink contour line describing the jaw, neck, raised arm, shoulders and torso with wiry precision and deliberate breaks in the line. The loose shirt rendered as flat angular faceted drapery planes; the long dark curly hair as heavy angular masses. Thin patchy gouache and watercolour washes in muted slate blue, ochre, dull brick red and cold grey, leaving large areas of untouched cream paper as the ground. Blotchy reddish and greenish accents on the cheek and knuckles. Mannered elongated arm, bony expressive fingers. Remove the arcade and pavement entirely; empty paper background, raw, austere and expressive. NEGATIVE: (none)
