Broken Contour
The same sitter reduced to nervous broken ink line and patchy gouache, mannered and elongated on bare cream paper.
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. 1913, in the manner of his clothed seated figure studies. Young adult woman, fully clothed in a dark brown sleeveless bodice and pale trousers, three-quarter length with one hand on her hip; strictly non-sexual, no nudity, decorous and restrained, modest framing. Nervous, angular, broken black ink contour line describing the head, jaw, neck, shoulders, arms and torso with wiry expressive precision and deliberate breaks in the line. Thin patchy gouache and watercolour washes laid inside the drawing in muted ochre, dull brick red, olive and cold grey, leaving large areas of untouched cream paper as the ground. Skin blotchy with reddish and greenish accents at the cheek, shoulder and knuckles. Dark hair as flat angular shapes. Mannered elongated arms, bony expressive fingers, tense alert asymmetric expression. Empty paper background, raw and expressive. NEGATIVE: (none)
