About The Artwork
This figure is a drawing of my trainer, Jon. His form is motivating as well as an inspiration. I used a surface that took recycled or discarded paper, primed it with house paint to stabilize the substrate. Then after the paint was dry, I applied mineral spirits over the surface. I used a block of soft graphite, which literally melts in the mineral spirits and makes marks that allow me to realize the body. Some of the brush strokes of the house paint present themselves as another drawing mark within the drawing. I also used a cloth to create directional definitions of the body. The desire to touch the subject via my drawing is part the seductive and passionate form of the drawing.
