In two separate compositions, Liberace has depicted the four temperaments: "Choleric and Phlegmatic" are paired together in one work, as "Sanguine and Melancholic" are in the other. Muscular torsos twist, limbs reach, expressive hands grab and point, and faces contort to convey a variety of moods. The human figure is poetry in motion in Liberace's stunning compositions. Three of Rob's drawings were selected for display in New York's prestigious Arnot Museum of Art. American Artist magazine highlighted Rob's drawing techniques as the cover feature in their May 2002 annual drawing issue and American Art Collector magazine published an article on his figure painting in their March 2010 issue. Liberace is perhaps best known for his classic and distinctive style of figure drawing and painting. In the February 2006 issue of The Artists' Magazine Rob was selected as one of the top 20 artists under the age of forty. He works in a variety of mediums including pencil, chalk, pen and ink, watercolor, and oil. His work is inspired by the centuries of knowledge, skill, and elegance of the old masters. Robert Liberace is equally accomplished in drawing, painting, and sculpture. However, I’m now energized to resume making art.Robert Liberace received his BFA and MFA from George Washington University. I wrote instructions for the type of face masks I’ve been making here. The pose was wonderful with a strong contrapposto. I like the warm quality of the terra cotta on the buff colored paper.
I learned to make these from this site.įor the past year my art has been on hold while I’ve concentrated on making face masks for my community and Native Nations. On Friday in figure drawing class I worked on a long study using terra cotta pencil, white pastel on toned paper. I make accordion style notebooks using the Aquarius II paper. I was inspired by the Inktober challenge in October 2017 to do daily pen and ink drawings and post these on my new Instagram site, bekah_ross_art. (Strathmore Aquarius II paper is suitable for all these mediums). I carry a notebook, in which I do watercolor, pen and ink, and pencil sketches. The fall of 2010 took me to the Guild Atelier in beautiful and wacky Brooklyn - studying w/ Camie Davis. I spent a rewarding year with Anthony Ryder in NM - 2009-10. I also studied for the month of July 2016 at the Repin Academy in St. I have studied the GCA in NYC and with Rob Liberace, Michael Grimaldi, Hope Railey as well as master Glen Orbik down at CAI. I attend all-day weekly life drawing sessions at Quimper Arts in Port Townsend, Washington. In my striving to study drawing and painting the human form I have taken classes and workshops with many fine artists, including David Gray, Robert Liberace, Juliette Aristides, and Stanley Prokopenko. I like the illusion of color produced by this monochrome palette, partly due to the colored ground, but also because the viewer fills in the colors, which makes the results so interesting. Most people seem to do stippling, hatching. Here I am just going to consider hatching. You can however use pen and ink in a purely tonal manner, which opens up great possibilities for expression and mood. If there is tone it is a watercolour wash or a simple hatch each contained within an outline. Ive wanted to experiment with this method since seeing Robert Liberaces drawings at the Arcadia Gallery last May. When we think of pen and ink we think of line. The translucent layering of watercolor is also now inspiring my oil painting. Todays post includes some 3-color chalk drawings I did during the break.
For example, I’m finding that silkscreening, which I learned for the purpose of ceramics, can also work with oil paints. Although this puts me on the steep side of many learning curves, I find that there are many opportunities to cross over between mediums. I also have studied and dabbled in watercolor, pen and ink, pastels, woodblock printing, silkscreen, and ceramics (primarily slab-built and plaster molds). I am an artist working in primarily in oil paint.
