Goals of the visit:
- Practice stealing Schiele’s quality of line, as part of the attempt to combine my life drawing style and detail recording style
- Check out both of their processes to see if it yields something helpful
.
Need to get a white compressed chalk to use in tandem with my brown ones and see if I can do something like this
.
Much earlier Schiele doesn’t have the energetic emotional quality of line characteristic of the style he settles into, but it is still really focused on line rather than tone.
.
What a thing to do, to decide your country needs more art and just start a journal to fix it, get all your art mates in on it. Oh to find a goal like that.

Working on nicking Klimt’s lines
.
^more of this white work on brown paper
‘real rather than idealised nudes’
‘the right posture to convey a particular feeling’ – art is about communication and emotion
.
“I went through Klimt until March. Today I think I am entirely different” – a sentiment for anthologies of the self. SAW17/18 I was going through Seferis. Have I let him go yet?
Colour, line. Focus on lines and outlines. Aura.
I should try gouache?
.
Remember the orange Wally brought him.
.
It’s absolutely wild to me that some people ‘paint better from memory than in front of a landscape’.
.
Stealing lines again.
.
This is really interesting to me. Can I use Schiele’s nature work as a model in my attempts to unite my free line life drawing style and more detail recording semi-scientific style?
.
^really simple way of doing faces. Look too hard and they start looking weird. Use this as inspo to practice faces.
.
Artist as a seer? Self portrait as Tiresias. Drag act as Tiresias lmao
.
EMOTIONAL LINE
.
