Orange/Blue Reclining

Drawn from life, December 29.

Tombow markers, water and brush, on about 8" x 12" watercolor paper.

  1. This is beautiful Jean. I love the dominant diagonal line-it just anchors the whole piece. How many blues are there?

  3. Thanks, Najma and Anthony.

    One blue marker, one yellow. One black ink pen.

  4. Oops. No black ink, just the markers.

  5. I like Najma's point about the diagonal, but it's the colors that wow me even more. Also the suddenly sharp definition of her let hand. A lot of drama in her restful pose--a nice tension.

    This is irrelevant, but for what it's worth, my first thought was, "Fish tank." Typical dumbass English major?

  6. Thanks, Chieftess. Me too.

    Thanks, Banjo. Under water is what I thought too. I also feel like her arm is resting on a giant crystal.

  7. My favorites of yours always have a sense of water -- ocean, river, or lake.
