Gridlines

​

Assembled for this show are drawings torn from sketchbooks used for life drawing sessions over the years. A few are from my 1991/92 anatomy class at the U of G. Life drawing has been a constant in my life for 35 years. I remain fascinated by the marvels of the human form. I am moved by the grace and simultaneous awkwardness of human beings, how we move, how we inhabit our bodies, what the body is capable of. I am particularly in awe of life drawing models and what they give. I am humbled every time.

Drawing using the grid method ensures that the proportion remains constant as the drawing is enlarged ( or reduced). It’s a mathematical solution to better understand perspective and it adds clarity to perception.
