22.01.2022 Reworking another older drawing from 3 years ago. It’s often helpful to put drawings away out of sight for a few months or even years. When you revisit them with fresh eyes, often solutions to things you were struggling with before are quickly resolved. #charcoal #charcoaldrawing #washdrawing #treedrawing #workinprogress . . . .... #peter_h_marshall_artist #drawing #dessin #illustration #arte #worldofartists #realistdrawing #blackandwhite #pencildrawing #tree #Australiangumtree #fineart #treesinart #contempoaryart #contemporaryrealist See more

20.01.2022 #portrait #oilonlinen #brushwork #details I’ve posted still images of this painting in the past, but I thought a video that gets up close to the surface details would be more interesting. The portrait is life size, painted on a stretched linen canvas. . . . .... . #peter_h_marshall_artist #oiloncanvas #portraiture #portraitstudy #portraitsinoils #portraitpainting #portraitsketch #face #head #girl #womeninart #profile #profileportrait See more

19.01.2022 #Selfportrait dressed in 17th Century Dutch costume 1993 #DETAIL from a life size painting.#oiloncanvas Another blast from the past! I recently found this rolled up under the stairs with a box of other old paintings that I had totally forgotten about. I painted this when I returned to Australia after my 2 years in Europe studying techniques of the #OldMasters. I used the techniques of 'Glazing' and 'Scumbling' with thin darks and heavy lights...typical of the way the old Mast...ers built up a painting. It's quite monochromatic and much more laboured compared to my #portrait work now. . . . . . #peter_h_marshall_artist #lifepainting #portraiture #contemporaryrealism #fineart #oilonlinen #figurative #art #arte #head #portraitsketch #portraitsinoils #illustration #drawing #realism #worldofartists #realistportrait #maleportrait #Academic_artworks #portraitstudy #contemporaryportraits #face #portrait See more

16.01.2022 #portraitofagirl #oilonlinen #tonalpainting There’s some very subtle tonal values in this portrait. Accurate observation of values and proportions with knowledge of the anatomy are keys to successful portraiture. . . . .... #peter_h_marshall_artist #portrait #portraitsinoils #face #portraitsketch #portraitstudy #head #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #oilpaintingtechnique #detail #girl #womeninart See more

11.01.2022 Natsuyo in #Kimono #DETAIL #oiloncanvas 1993 This was another painting that I used glazing and scumbling techniques to build up the textures and colour. I started with monochrome under painting with very thin darks and then built up the lighter tones with heavier whites in the lightest areas. After the underpainting had completely dried, I glazed in the colours and worked back into some of those with scumbles and then glazed again. It was an effective technique, but very slow... and laborious. These days I prefer a more direct method. . . . . . . #peter_h_marshall_artist #lifepainting #portraiture #contemporaryrealism #fineart #oilonlinen #figurative #art #arte #japanesegirl #portraitsketch #portraitsinoils #illustration #drawing #realism #oilpaintingtechnique #realistportrait #femaleportrait #Academic_artworks #portraitstudy #contemporaryportraits #face #portrait #representationalportrait See more

05.01.2022 #ANATOMY STUDIES #charcoal #academic This is a page of Anatomy studies made in 1992 while I was a art student in Sydney Australia.There was a really old 'Artistic Anatomy' book there which simplified complex anatomy of the body (don't remember the name of the author). I made some copies from this book when I was trying to learn this stuff. They show the 'origins and insertions' of the deep #muscles of the back (right hand side of page)...splenius capitis, splenius cervicis a...nd erector spinae. The drawing in the middle of the page shows the 'origin and insertion of the largest muscle of the back 'Latissimus Dorsi'...notice how it inserts at the front of the Humorous bone of the upper arm. The latissimus dorsi is responsible for extension, adduction, flexion from an extended position, and internal rotation of the shoulder joint. It also helps with extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine. Knowing the function of the different muscles is extremely helpful when it comes to making a knowledgable and convincing drawing. You don't necessarily copy how things look, you also need to know what they do. This knowledge can then be expressed in your drawings. Look at the old masters drawings, those guys really knew their stuff! In a few strokes they could give more information about a form than hundreds of photographs ever could. Photos only see the surface of things, they have no deeper knowledge or understanding like a trained figure artist has. . . . . . #peter_h_marshall_artist #Academic_artworks #line #anatomydrawing #muscledrawing #figuredrawing #sketch #pencildrawing #dessin #realism #formdrawing #fineart #bones #pencilsketch #illustration #worldofartists #art #anatomystudy #creative_uprising #studentdrawing #lifedrawing #drawinganatomy #pencil See more
