Original artwork description:

As part of my art practice I go to weekly figure drawing groups. In figure drawing, I am fast, furious and heavy handed as I carve my line out of space. Each week I draw, go back to the studio, paint over, collage over and write over the parts that don’t seem to be working. I go back to figure drawing and redraw, then cut, paste, paint, and draw and draw and draw until I get something that speaks to me. I never throw anything out. I work and rework until I discover a story evolving. In this piece you can see the layering of the drawn and painted figures combined with hand lettering and stenciling. This image is on heavy stock drawing paper.

Materials used:

acrylic, paint, collage, stencils, china marker, pen, pencil, marker, gel medium,
