Ocean Tide

Medium Scale Drawing

Ocean Tide

Medium Scale Drawing

2022 [Charcoal and Coffee on Paper • 52½ × 60 inches] Unframed

Brand: Gatherings

SKU: oceantide-gatherings

This was the first in the series. Those men, angry, gesturing, battling an unknown element, fired me up so much that I blocked in five drawings in two weeks. I don’t believe I have ever experienced an aesthetic high as intense and fulfilling as those two weeks. For this drawing, everything was new. How to handle the materials needed to be discovered that fit with the idea. The original background was an interior and it can just be seen in the strong vertical and horizontal lines. After erasing and changing the landscape to water, the figures came trudging through the mud. I tried putting in a running figure on the right and liked it but as in Intrusion, I felt it added too much direction to the actions of the three figures to the left. It remains as a ghost figure. The sky was the result of researching clouds and weather. I wanted them to reflect the men. Positioning the clouds as well as rending them was critical. I was generous with the coffee stain in this drawing but would refine its use in later works. The black tie on the central figure I consider, if asked, to be a master stroke.
