Drawing Above the Fog

A figure drawing left exactly as drawn, standing on a dark outcrop above a sea of fog, dwarfed by an immense luminous sky.

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:
Place this Egon Schiele ink-and-gouache figure drawing into a Caspar David Friedrich Romantic landscape, c. 1820. Keep the figure exactly as she is drawn: the same standing pose with both arms raised to the back of her head, the same clothes, the same nervous broken black ink contour, flat patchy ochre and blue-grey wash, unmodelled and linear, still reading as a drawing rather than repainted in oil, and clearly small against the vastness. Place her standing on a dark rocky outcrop in the foreground. Beyond and below her open an immense sublime emptiness: a sea of pale drifting fog filling the middle distance, the faint silhouettes of distant peaks and a few bare skeletal fir trees emerging through it, and above a vast cold luminous sky graduating from pale gold at the horizon to soft grey-blue. Smooth atmospheric oil handling in the landscape, precise dark foreground rock, muted Romantic palette of slate, fog white, cold blue, dull umber and pale amber light. Absolutely no other people. Immense scale, solitude, silence, contemplative sublime, the figure dwarfed by empty space.

NEGATIVE:
