20×28 cm slate - both sides drawn in chalk
Im not that old to have drawn or written on slates when I was in primary school. But some children still do, get our of your modern city (as we define modern) and visit the world. I am attracted to historical periods when changes took place, the early 1900s in the USA for instance. Migrants living in tenements, hardly getting education, working hard and often with only 1 parent.
The Ashcan Art movement (Bellows and others) made me love those stories. Whitman sang her songs. Not all my subjects are the low/middle class life but I always have their stories in me. In many ways, I’m one of them.
I use as reference photographs I take or find online. (that’s why we have the web right, to share and get inspired.)
When I start sketching I start also “flying free” the original is just the wind under the wings (Im in a song mood today) but the flight is my own.
I dont see why I would “photocopy” images. It may look as hyper-realistic but it’s not, just hyper-patient and with a lot of love. It sounds cliché to say you put love into your work? Do that and when the work is done, you will feel good about your work, like it’s returning a love.
price includes regular shipping, which I dont know in your country but in the Netherlands almost doubled in the last 4 years.
