Roundism – 13-08-22 Drawing

Something Different And now for something completely different: Roundism again. After ‘Art Deco Nude – 11-08-22’ it was time to unleash my Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils on Roundism. I delved into my stash of art deco photographs and saw a suitable one, conducive to creating round shapes. Unfortunately I couldn’t retrieve the photographer’s name anymore but hail to him or her anway. In my art statement I also thank photographers from aforementioned era for their crafty and artistic approach. They keep on inspiring me to invent stuff based on their visual ideas, very much unlike contemporary model photography. Should I seek for a new word like ‘Neo Art Deco’? That sounds a bit presumptuous. What do you think? Tonal Extremities Perhaps it’s all-in the tonal values. I simply love tonal extremities, backlit forms, creating rhythym and diction. A perfect playfield for putting my theories on ‘variation in repetition and repetition in variation’ into practise. With these new pencils I can shift into a higher gear. Regular graphite pencil is not very dark but keeps a shiny silverish glow. I feel now that blackening planes is much easier now and gives me that extra bit of darkness. It feels as if I have to be careful not to overdo it. Regular graphite forced me to keep on hatching, almost risking damaging the paper. Luckily the grainy structure prevents me from hatching too frantically.
