Crocheted Sleeves
Crocheted Sleeves. 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 written instruction alone, with no photograph. The instruction is 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. Half-length study of a young adult woman standing upright and frontal, fully clothed and modestly covered: a black long-sleeved wrap top with open-work crocheted sleeves, closed at the neckline, worn over dark trousers, with a thin gold chain at the throat. Strictly non-sexual and non-erotic: no nudity, no bare midriff, no exposed chest, no reclining or arched pose, no suggestive emphasis. Upright, tense, guarded posture and a wary, watchful expression. Nervous angular broken black ink contour line describing the jaw, neck, shoulders and arms with wiry precision and deliberate breaks. The crocheted sleeve rendered as a flat dark patterned graphic shape against the paper; the dark curly hair as angular faceted masses. Thin patchy gouache washes in muted ochre, dull brick red, olive and cold grey, with large areas of untouched cream paper left as the ground. Blotchy reddish and greenish accents on the cheek and knuckles. Remove the street, railing and graffiti entirely; empty paper background, raw, austere and expressive. NEGATIVE: (none)
