Fount Iv
Artist
Paul Davenport
Medium
Drawing - Compressed Charcoal On Paper
Description
The fourth drawing in the 'Fount' series, which are basically drawings exploring the possibilities of capturing the movement and application of the stroke when describing light and shade, the subject being left to form in the middle where they meet. My figure drawings are usually worked up from small sketches done from life, with an intermediary drawing to work out the shapes and shading.
The drawing is slightly larger than I normally do, it was done with compressed charcoal on 50 x 70 cm Zeichenkarton 220g/m2 drawing paper.
A coloured, textured version can be seen here...

Paul congrats on your sale!
Paul Davenport replied:
Thank you Carole :-) Rather fascinates me to know what people do when they buy multiple images - a while ago one person bought prints of all “edge” paintings (of which there are three) + a duplicate of the last one… and did the same with 'alternative edge’ (of which there are three again) + a duplicate this time of the second one… thats 8 full sized prints at over 2 foot square each!!!…... would love to know what they did with them (?)... its a puzzle! - Mostly as that was a buyer in the UK... and houses over here generally are rather tiny :-)

Hilo, Hi - United States
Your figurative drawings are superb, Paul. I worked as an artist's model for many years for many artists and I can say your work is some of the best I have seen.
Paul Davenport replied:
Thank you Heidi... very happy you like them:-) Im in two minds about them really... I very much enjoy the process of doing them, but am never satisfied with what I end up with!... love playing with compressed charcoal though :-)... though would be even better if it had an 'undo' button! - I did a bit modelling myself in Ye Olden times (when I could easily see my feet) I always found the 'in-between time' poses (15min) the worst !

Thank you Tim... as the cont isn't editable at all, it's very much a matter of just 'winging it' really :-) and hoping for the best!
Wheaton, IL - United States
Very nice. Love the flow of the lines and accidental or no, the background strokes following the arch of the back really adds to the effect of the drawing.
Pinckney, MI - United States
Paul thanks for the insight , it is nice when something comes together like that. Pencil on !
Pinckney, MI - United States
Great work Paul you have a certain flair to your art that sets you apart , the curvature of the back ground shading is a great element well done.
Paul Davenport replied:
Thank you Gerald... that was semi accidental, as Ive been getting overly concerned with solid blacks and whites... I had just wiped in some quick strokes to block in later... then went for a coffee, and on coming back, thought ... hold the phone!!! that looks OK! - I hadn't realised I had followed the arc of her back!

Utterly amazing work my friend. I am blown away.
Paul Davenport replied:
Oh! don't be blown away......... although the way the model was looking over her shoulder, she may have been suffering from flatulence....... and there was indeed a big "whoosh"........ sorry about that!
