Graphite on Brown Paper
14"x22"
This work was completed for DSFDF blog set up by Karin Jurick. Instead of painting from a photographic reference that Karin furnishes, she ask the artist participants to draw the entire figure. Her general feeling, and I totally agree, is that too many painters do not know how to draw. Many jump into a painting without having a good drawing on the canvas. And, as I tell my students, there is nothing worse than having a good painting and the buildings are not drawn with the understanding of perspective. The nice thing about drawing is that it takes color out of the equation and the artist has to rely on value contrast to make the subject appear dimensional.

Jerry, What a beautiful drawing from Karin's DSFDF. I have one to submit, but in oil. I need to heed your drawing advice, very good point. Also enjoyed your more abstract posts as well. Nice blog entries.
Beautiful work, Jerry! I like the warm-toned paper. Your students are lucky to have you for an instructor. Great work!
Beautiful and inspirational...great job!
Great drawing for our challenge in DSFDF. Haven't started mine yet.
Gerry, great to see you back participating in DSFDF.. This is a fabulous drawing.
Soft, and sweet...I like it!
Lovely drawing, tones are very sensitively made and drawing has real movement.
Masterful drawing, and from the size of it, you must have devoted a lot of time to it. Really lovely.
The is a sensitively rendered drawing, beautiful Jerry!
