Description
India: Live Model Portraiture explores how charcoal can balance accurate likeness with expressive mark-making. While careful attention to proportion, value, and line captures the model’s physical presence, looser marks in the background add movement and begin to blur the boundary between the figure and its surroundings. Rather than aiming for perfect realism, the drawing allows moments of abstraction to bring more life and energy into the subject. This piece shows how charcoal portraiture can move beyond simple replication to create a stronger sense of body and spirit.
