There is no true definition as to what art is. It can be generalized, but there will always be a work that breaks through even the deepest rooted descriptions. The purpose I set out to fulfill is to push boundaries, combat formality, and cause controversy all the while providing beauty in its form and content.

Ink wash painting, just a little bit bigger.
This is a continuation of the ink wash pieces from a couple posts ago. It was done on a different day but the same model sat for this session too. I originally didn't like it, I wasn't pleased with the dark thin lines outlining certain areas of the body because it felt too stiff and not lifelike. I don't know what it took to get me to give it another chance, I do find that I like the dark area where the arm rests against the right side of her body, and the tones are subtle but the range of the shades that are present work well together. Plus, I really like how her shoulders, back, and butt turned out. I suppose in the end, if you don't give your own work a chance, how do you expect anyone else to?

I remember figure drawing class. It was one of my favorite classes. My final show was based on those drawings and nature. It looks really good. Working with wash is challenging.
