About David Jones

SIMPLICITY IN LINE: ESSENCE OF BODY: DRAWING WITH SPACE: The human form expressing our different emotions and feelings, expressed simply through a line. Sometimes just a very few lines - minimalism. Whatever I feel is necessary to capture the essence of the pose. I use a technique known as Zen drawing - as each line is drawn one only looks at the subject (the model) and not the paper. The poses are usually between 1 and 5 minutes(max 10) .Sometimes there is time for more than one completed work of the same pose, as measuring is not required as in 'normal' life drawing. Permanent artist ink marker pen is used, so no fading or damage possible. Most of the work is drawn with A3 paper. There are a few smaller A4 based works sold in pairs and larger A2 even A1 indicated in the title of the piece. My hope and intention is that the works are gender neutral. The work is signed with my initials within a monogram in the shape of a fish/whale. If you would like me to sign in pencil. on the front or back my full name - David W. Jones - please request. Thank you.
