Blinding Light (2023)Charcoal drawing
by Darren Jekel
£817.4
Original artwork description
My friend Elen modeled for me and was the inspiration for this drawing. She has an MFA in dance and her poses are very expressive. I want my drawings to be as energetic and adventurous as my paintings and to influence and inform each other. Charcoal becomes painterly when it gets wetted with a brush, or smeared with a finger on a drawing, and I have developed a practice of drawing with soft willow vine charcoal directly on top of my oil painting canvases. I attempt to draw landscapes like van Gogh, and figures like Raphael. I studiously copy them mark-by-mark frequently for practice. I take the advice of my teacher Wayne Thiebaud who once told me, “learn from the masters".
