Composition

portrait 1

En montant à Bessans, au détour d'une route : une maisonnée, adossée à la pente, un espoir de repos, d'un peu de chaleur, d'humanité. J'imagine ce qu'étaient les pensées des voyageurs en des temps reculés ou la voiture n'existait pas, ou l'on voyageait grâce à de gros souliers, de bonnes jambes et de bons pieds. Une mule parfois pour porter un chargement à convoyer vers une autre vallée, vers l'Italie, en passant par des cols enneigés et balayés par les vents.

I think the panelling is compositionally successful but if I were to develop this fabric into a garment then the scale of these panels could be manipulated to accentuate certain areas of the body

More of my composition study sketches.

Let's go on an adventure.

I'm returning to the self-imposed limits of drawing within a box. It helps me to focus and aids the process of composing when the edges of the box let you form negative shapes.
