Painting of group of Nudes One Minute Poses 116.1 Original gouache and graphite sketch by Gretchen Kelly
$90.00
12.5x14.5" gouache + graphite on kraft paper
This original painting of a sequence of one minute poses is one of two during a warm up session before painting longer poses. I like working from the model as opposed to photographs. There is an energy that transpires during these live sessions that is visceral, alive and unique. I have been painting gestural poses from the nude female form since I was in high school. I offer these originals here on my Etsy shop. I try to capture the beauty and ease of the female form. I work with swift strokes and make order out of chaos. Simplicity is the mark I strive for.
See sample of 2 framed together to give you an idea. Painting is sold without frame.

These are markings of the minute in time of each particular sketch and add to the character of this genre of Art.

Additional
Please note that inherent in the nature of my work, splashes, fingerprints, blobs and paint drops may appear. This is considered part of the work, as my work is done at live model sessions and I am working quickly. These markings on the work give character and show the moment in time when the Art was made. I leave these marks for this reason and consider them important to the work.
