a new version from the other one i did in watercolours, this time in oil.









I just found this in an old email, it's a couple of sketches from 2004 I had made after a magazine or newspaper photograph

one of the sketches i did at the natural science museum
two studies of my own left hand drawn in grahite but used in two different ways..
the thing is that there are always some details i miss while drawing that i realize after i finished it, eyes too close or separated, bigger/smaller eyebrows, slant mouth, smaller nose, hahahaha. i'll keep on looking till i can get it right. maybe that's what's really interesting about art, if we could do exactly what we plan or want, maybe it wouldn't be so wonderfully exciting as art is!
i'll only post two of all the imaginay sketches i did yesterday on a new blank book i started, just to spend some quiet evening on silence, painting without caring about any particular model, shapes or perpectives
an imaginary figure in which i don't care about any real shape or size. it's strange, while i was doing it and afterwards too, i see it and feel an urge to go on with the inner part of the figure in pencil lines.
as it is, in a way it's inviting, to be completed mentally in different ways all the time. i'll leave it just like it is, asking me to complete it each time i see it. :P
this is another imaginary work i did last year and just found it in the computer and think I never posted it.
a school work, using the palette of a known painting
I like your portrait Martin.
Hey Carol! Thanks!!
