Drawing:
Ballpoint Pen
on
Paper.
Large series with more than 250 drawings.
Here is the 4th series only line drawing on 70g/m2 sketch paper.
-----
The first series or testing is performed with closed eyes just before falling asleep. I often draw body parts and objects that I have in mind.
The next day I discovered the lines drawn. Space is often chaotic and requires intervention to organize all traces of the night. I chose colored markers to surround, define new spaces and create a composition.
- The first series on Dorée Paper 170g/m2 with pen Staedtler 0.2 (night) + markers (day) = 57 drawings
- 2nd series on Canson paper (sometimes with incomplete drawings at back) painted black gouache with pencil white (for the night) + 5 maximum color pencils (for the day) = 20 drawings
- 3rd series: on white Canson C Grain 160g/m2 with pen Staedtler 0.2 (night) + markers for the day (colors still 'functional': pink, brown, green, red, orange, yellow - other colors are no longer or hardly used) -
- Fifth series: back in July 2013 on the Sketch Paper 70g/m2 with pen Staedtler 0.1 (for the night) + pink, mostly yellow (for the day).
This fourth series is completed with drawings made during the hottest hours of the summer. I draw only 'portraits'.
Unlike other drawings of this series, I searched for a less controlled more free drawing, 'I let go of the hand'.
With the result color doesn't seem useful to me.
