This is a practice study – part of my continuing education as a working artist. The pose is from a collection offered for signing up to the ProkoTV.com mailing list. They don’t give out any of the models names, so this sketch is after Proko-Model-Pose-024. ProkoTV is a great resource for learning how to draw people well.
“Reaching No. 1” is currently being displayed at the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute during their Spring Art Show. This show was only open to the public for one night — Feb 28, 2020. The opening was a joy. Food was delicious, wine flowed and friends of poetry were all around. My favorite poem read that night was a very moving one about Sisyphus by Robert Bergman.
Until September, this portrait will be viewed and enjoyed by SPSI staff and students. I’ve listed it in the show for $50 framed. Artists must handle their own sales, so email me at adrianbourne@adrianwbourne.com if interested in purchasing. I am working on a replacement piece and once that is done, a sale can be made.
The “Portriat” page is in a state of flux. Just to get started I’ve combined final portraits with works in progress, practice pieces and life drawings. As I add more narrative to the images, I will hopefully give greater perspective on my process and inspire you viewers.
More story to come.
