About Me
- Jean Spitzer
- Lately, I've been drawing from life, creating drawings, pastels and paintings that combine reality, imagination and experience, and represent my thoughts and feelings as much as external appearance.

You have a real talent for figurative drawing. I like your rough use of color too.
excellent. the facial features are spot on. reminds me of hans hobein. also the choice to cobble the drawing together. that must have been difficult
I like the yellow over the sketch. It speaks of spring, which I am ready for.
One of my favorite color combinations. I have an amethyst and gold necklace that would look very nice on her!
Ditto the above commentators!
"1" of how many??
ottimo lavoro, stupendo
great drawing - lively and free, catching the pose beautifully :>)
I like this one too. The color has more power than I can explain, and the lines seem very realistic.
Thanks, all.
Cafe, it's one of two, at this time.
PA, I carry a roll of tape with me--and just keep adding pieces. This model did remind me of 16th century work; cool that you caught it in this drawing.
Really like the breasts, upper arms, hand. (How does PA know that stuff?)
Great figure, very special the lining of light/shade.
I like the way you drizzled the yellow across the woman in the drawing, Lovely!
Excellent color combinations, Jean. I really like your figurative drawings.
You bring to life the beautiful shape of a woman with a few black lines and what might look like gold scratches if considered on their own. It's remarkable to me.
Thanks, all, and welcome, Anga.
Love the crazy line marking and dynamism of this piece. A very intriguing piece.
Thank you, Shelley.
