This sketch is the sixty-fourth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day sixty-four: This afternoon I was delighted to learn that one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance made some pretty messy drawings, a result of his exploratory approach to composition. Even more pleasing was hearing Aiden Weston-Lewis describe “claw hands” as a fairly salient feature of figures drawn by Titian. Facial features are often equally obscure. I made this drawing after one that has recently been attributed to Titian, and which is currently on view at the MIA in “Titian and the Golden Age of Venetian Painting” (which everyone in the Twin Cities should go see).
