PORTRAIT COMPARISON - UMBRELLA

Spiky Coat, Bare Paper

The same figure reduced to spiky faceted shapes in broken ink line, the coat and umbrella angular against untouched 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 as an Egon Schiele drawing, Vienna c. 1913, in the manner of his clothed full-length figure studies. A young adult woman, fully clothed in a long tan coat over dark trousers, standing and holding an umbrella; strictly non-sexual, no nudity, decorous and restrained. Nervous, angular, broken black ink contour line describing the coat, shoulders, arms, hands and umbrella with wiry expressive precision and deliberate breaks in the line. The coat and umbrella reduced to spiky faceted angular shapes. Thin patchy gouache and watercolour washes laid inside the drawing in muted ochre, dull brick red, olive and cold grey, leaving most of the sheet as untouched cream paper. Blotchy reddish and greenish accents on the face and hands. Mannered elongated limbs, bony expressive fingers, tense alert expression. No background at all, empty paper, raw and expressive.

NEGATIVE:
(none)
