This sketch is the one hundred and tenth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day one hundred and ten: All day I’ve had an image in my mind: the form of a runner, fragmented and repeating as if caught by stop-motion photography. My quick sketch of the idea led to a series of layers to which I spontaneously added and removed pigment. On a whim, I changed the base layer from light gray to ochre. I loved the effect, and it reminded me how chiaroscuro woodcuts use colors beneath lines. Experimenting, I tried changing the base color to see what would happen. One example using magenta is below.
