| A multi-tracking line (as in "Untitled) can be used for a few different uses. It can sometimes be that the drawer is repeatedly 'not getting it'. At other times it can be that each line is getting closer, working darker as the final line registers. Alternatively, such lines can be a free ramble around. |
| I tend to give a lot of regard to the inner form. In "Hit" and "Register" most of the lines are 'inlines' instead of outlines. The direction of each line is part of a 'concert' that aims to cause an eye flow that maps the form of the figure. A lot of recent work gives higher attention to line. Such attention came out of a need to develop brush skills but, in the process, I enjoyed playing the brush 'as a pen', sometimes with the image appearing as though it was 'cut' into position with the metal of a nib. |
| A number of pastel images have been created using the 'hit and register' process, similar to that which was used with the above charcoal drawings. Smudging only occurred from the natural process of the criss-cross stroking of each pastel colour. (Generally, I do not favour a lot of smudging, especially if it is from the hand of a 'blunt finger'.) |
