Copied from an old photo, painted with watercolor and
gouache. This time around, the map of Africa is defaced.
This drawing re-works familiar turf… I worked from
memory, with minimal underdrawing, using a drybrush technique, Windsor Newton
Sable dipped in India ink. At, that’s what it looks like.
Same deal as yesterday,
wet-into-wet acrylic using leftover paint, color mixing directly on the page.
Except, this time, I started with a yellowish underpainted wash.
I really like the look of
the last 3 posted paintings; I think they would look great painted large, say
3’ x 4’, maintaining the same large strokes.
Yeow,
I just noticed: this is the 50th post in the “Daily Dick” series.
I’m just about halfway through the “Daily Dick” sketchbook. In order to avoid
repetition (and the accompanying boredom and ennui), I had to keep mixing
things up, trying new shit. Things get even more interesting from here on out.
More acrylic, this time painting wet into wet, doing
the color mixing on the page itself. I was working with leftover paint from
whatever canvas I was doing at the time.
This is done with black
acrylic paint.
It’s
based off yesterday’s colored pencil drawing. I don’t think I referred to the
original photograph; I wanted greater abstraction. I definitely succeeded; the
image is unrecognizable as a close-up of a crotch. It can only be appreciated
as an abstract image and for the sensual pleasure of the smeared paint.
Nothing special here— I lightly sketched it in
pencil, then painted the lines with watercolor or gouache. I based it off
another photo culled from mid’80’s newsstand gay-porn rags.
Watercolor, possibly gouache, with minimal Prismacolor
underdrawing. I like it; very simple and direct. Very graphic.
This drawing is done with
Prismacolors, one of my favorite drawing utensils. It doesn’t smear much, is
slightly erasable, and accepts multiple layering without too much waxy
build-up.
It is
done from a photograph.
