graphite & putty eraser/30x20cm
Following on from the formal example of the previous watercolour, this drawing employs a more 'allover' approach to the spatial continuum from which the pair of pears, & the horizontal plane upon which they sit, are extracted by a process of lighter & darker tonal manipulations.
Again, the objects are observed contre jour & the drawing processed as dusk encroaches upon the source of natural daylight, leaving the objects' form to be described by their lingering, diminishing highlights, clinging tenaciously to their outlines & occasional textural features, & the areas of indistinct shadow into which they increasingly fall.
Under such prevailing environmental circumstances, one endeavours to communicate something of the granular quality of the light as it interposes itself - as something of a barrier, to be overcome - between the viewer & the objects of study, of the physicality of such an experience, where the space is palpable & very much part of the continuum.
