A Lovely Model This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco – 02-09-24’ shows a lovely model called honey_kiss_rus again. Obviously that’s her online name. You can check her out on Instagram for example, adding a @ in front of her username. It’s not the first time I drew her though. Last time was a year ago and soon I turned it into an oil. After that I turned to other themes and models but we stayed in touch. Recently she sent me some new pictures and there was one I simply couln’t resist using for another drawing. The pose is quite similar to last year’s actually. Frontally but she bends her hips more. Frankly, I was curious if I could get the same quality in abstracted forms I found then once again. To Copy Success From my own experience I know how difficult it is to copy a success from the past. Especially if it concerns a similar pose. It’s like trying to experience the same lovely holiday on the same spot twice. Somehow a unique experience consists of skills, vision and all other components conducive to success at a certain moment. Nevertheless the urge remains and there is a lot I can learn from copying. Take the abstracted forms in her body for example. Maybe I was worried about the ability of finding new abstractions for my ever expanding Neo Deco series. After all, I made a lot of more realistic looking stuff this year. Now I feel I have to return to abstracting the female body. Inspired also by the positive feedback by others in the recent past I feel confident to pick up the trail. A Stain, a Problem? Actually finding cubist forms wasn’t that difficult. The model’s slender body showed a lot of shapes caused by the razor light coming from the right. These induced my capability to see all kinds of pareidolia effects. So I was right on track in Studio Brugman where I teach. Between lessons I had some time left and then it happened. A student didn’t clean the table properly. Therefore my fingertip was covered with a small amount of viridian green. Not much but it caused a stain on the lower left side. Of course I tried to erase it but these will never be removed completely. Then again, I wouldn’t be a proper artist if I didn’t improvise. So now you know I rendered the column on the left totally black. It enforced the composition. However, the initial plan was to keep it all rather light but the universe spoke!
