Lange&Eckert Fine Art
I'm a mixed media visual artist with a passion for drawing the figure. The complexities of the human form pose a special problem for the artist who doesn't rely on formulas for drawing the figure. There are no quick and easy methods for drawing, no "drawing for dummies" approach that can lead to a real understanding the the human form. There are no shortcuts.
I have no interest in making my work look like a photograph. Photos speak their own language. I would rather my work looks raw, made by hand and without a slick gloss.
I made this drawing a few months after returning from Italy. I don't recall what my motivation for tilting the models head was but I suspect it had something to do with my visit to Pisa to see the leaning tower. This work was made using ink, watercolor and pastel on a monotype.
