Mattress Tester Drawing

People know the work of Egon Shiele and Gustav Klimt. They are fascinated by the sexuality contained by both these artists' paintings and drawings. Although the work of both of these artists was considered scandalous during their lifetimes, their work became acceptable upon their deaths. Several models I have worked with over the past 40 years are fascinated by the erotic nature of the drawings of Klimt and Schiele. Some choose to express themselves in ways that others are uncomfortable doing. Some request that I only change the face so as to not have a resemblance, while others are not concerned. Like many artists before me, this kind of art is viewed as scandalous perhaps because both the model and the artist are still living. Working from the model in groups is entirely different from drawing or painting the model in her own space or in a private studio space. Models are often more comfortable in their own spaces than anywhere else. This mixed media painting is done on acid-free 140lb Fabriano Studio watercolour paper. The work of art is created in Rapidograph Ultradraw ink and Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink and Dr. Ph. Martin's inks and Windsor & Newton watercolors. The work is signed. I provide a certificate of authenticity.
