J'ai mis en page en une planche « toute » la série de dessins réalisés avec la modèle A.
Performeuse-modèle exceptionnelle, elle influe sur mon trait et m'emmène dans des expérimentations que je ne maîtrise que peu ou prou.

J'ai du lâcher mon crayon rose (mon préféré) avant la fin de la session, je n'avais pas le temps de le retailler. Les 3 derniers dessins sont faits au crayon à papier « banal ».

Ce sont plus que des « poses » qu'elle enchaîne dans le studio, ce sont des tableaux vivants, des impros statiques théâtrales dont je me prends l’énergie en pleine gueule et dont je ressors épuisé et hagard.

Bon Dieu que j'aime ça.

english translation: A 1-page composition made from « all » the sketches when A was modeling.
Amazing performing model, she has a huge influence on the way I draw and bring me in some experiments I have no idea how I got there.

I had to abandon my favorite pink pencil before the end of the session, as I didn't have time to sharpen it. The 3 last sketches are basic paper pencil.

It's much more than « poses » she is holding, it's living paintings, statics-theater improvisations, which energy hits me in the face. I end up from those completely exhausted and confused.

God, I love that:)

Recently I had the chance and the privilege to work with amazing, passionate, creative, professional people that make me question "what is a life drawing model"? (including sub-question "What is the relationship between artist and model?)

I've been drawing with a model for more than a decade, but I'm still realizing that I don't have any answer to this previous question.

I'm so happy to realize that


I guess, this blog is also a way for me to write down those questions. Thanks to all of you for being my careful listeners.

more meeeeeEEEeeen!
Both of them are dancers, creative performers and an hell of body shape.

Can't make up my mind: (too) long pose (for my fast sketching style), 3 sketchbooks on hand, 3 sketches... but which one to keep?

phantasm:
product of fantasy
a : delusive appearance : illusion
b : ghost, specter
c : a figment of the imagination

OK, more honestly, it's just a crossover composition as I was in 2 differents drawing studios the same day. Those 2 models never posed together, except in my mind ^^
