These are portraits of what I see, not of what are. I seek to portray what I see as it wants to be seen.


The struggle is emotional to me as I try to free that which wants to be into that which is.

Schoolgirls - Part 3


Since the girls just wanted to have fun, I released two from among my many other characters.



Something else to note is that with this series within a series, I started using the oval as face form. This is usually not done in figure drawing.



Notice that between the idea sketch and the final portrait, she lost a tooth.



Interesting enough, in painting the girl hanging upside down, I couldn't paint her right side up, only upside down. If I turn the sketch over, she looked totally out of proportion to me. What do you think?


My next step with the school girls started crystalizing around the idea of a crowd of girls, but not bunched together in a circle or in a line. Part 4 will explore how that came to fruition.



Thank you for reading!
