Painting - Life Drawing

I went back to do some more figure drawing, but using Indian ink this time rather than paint. From my previous post, I found that Indian ink helps me work faster and to not focus too heavily on detail.

We were given 20 minutes to capture each pose.

I found that the shadow for each pose was just as interesting to document as the pose itself. It’s almost like a second figure. The freedom of Indian ink helped me to note the depth of this shadow.

Exhibition Tour—Tree & Serpent: Early Buddhist Art in India, 200 BCE–400 CE

Join John Guy, Florence and Herbert Irving Curator of the Arts of South and Southeast Asia in The Met’s Department of Asian Art, and Donald S. Lopez, Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies, University of Michigan, for a virtual tour of Tree & Serpent: Early Buddhist Art in India, 200 BCE–400 CE. Featuring more than 140 objects dating from 200 BCE to 400 CE, the exhibition presents a series of evocative and interlocking themes to reveal both the pre-Buddhist origins of figurative sculpture in India and the early narrative traditions that were central to this formative moment in early Indian art. With major loans from a dozen lenders across India, as well as from the United Kingdom, Europe, a4thnd the United States, it transports visitors into the world of early Buddhist imagery that gave expression to this new religion as it grew from a core set of ethical teachings into one of the world’s great religions. Objects associated with Indo-Roman exchange reveal India’s place in early global trade. The exhibition showcases objects in various media, including limestone sculptures, gold, silver, bronze, rock crystal, and ivory. Highlights include spectacular sculptures from southern India—newly discovered and never before publicly exhibited masterpieces—that add to the world canon of early Buddhist art. On view: July 21st–November 13th, 2023 Learn more about the exhibition: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/tree-and-serpent The Metropolitan Museum of Art

ive been going back to the basics of art recently. youknow object studies, landscapes, anatomy and all and ive realized just how important these are in the overall creation process. these got me thinking about the sides of art ive neglected for years which is mostly traditional indian art like madhubani and tanjore art etc etc. and what studying these could help me learn cuz there's so much to learn from them not only about art but also the culture and history of india that i've also been neglecting for years.

so yeah im going back to drawing traditional art for the first time in half a decade and i'll be sharing my research and progress over at @nin-nyan-ve
