About The Artwork
"Head study" is a portrait study from life, drawn at Northcote Gallery in Melbourne. My recent practice is concerned with painting solely from life in oil using pigment stick. The immediacy and time restriction involved with painting directly from the model can create an intensity and freshness in the work. Painting from life can also force unexpected outcomes, the happy accident and restricts the temptation into detail. I use high quality artist pigment sticks (oil paint and wax combined) on primed archival Colourfix paper, 300gsm watercolour paper. The actual artwork has a white 12mm border around the edge which i have cropped out. The artwork is unframed. Keywords: portrait, from life, abstract expressionist, life drawing, expressionist, figurative

Australia
Moving as a child from beautiful Bronte in Sydney with its cemetery on the beach and sandstone art deco architecture to the inner north of Melbournes bluestone lanes and leaden skies was a contrast that made an impression. My mothers (brendawalsh.com.au) drawings appearing before my eyes sparked my interest in drawing. Watching form materialize from the end of a pencil into existence had a magical effect that i wanted to explore. I currently draw inspiration from working directly from life without the aid of photo reference. The focus and concentration required can bring an immediacy and freshness to the work.
