Title
Textured Frustration
Artist
Paul Davenport
Medium
Drawing - Compressed Charcoal On Paper & Digital
Description
Recently I have started getting interested in recording the energy of a stroke. These three are A2 in width and are compressed charcoal on heavy cartridge paper. I wanted to use compressed charcoal because you can't rub it out, causing me concentrate on the marks I was making.
This piece was created by taking the 'Frustration' drawing and overlaying it onto a scan of stained and tinted handmade watercolour paper, (the stained paper is predominantly green(ish)) I then applied various layer filters in Photoshop to revise and modify the colour.
I approach this stage as playtime, as it involves experimenting with combinations of filters to produce interesting effects, colours and textures. Tthe results are very often startling and somewhat unexpected.

You put so much of the human condition in this image Paul. The textured version really brings it to life. This is one of your very finest as far as I am concerned. I can relate to every detail of this work, as it speaks to the immensity of life's struggles and how they can from time to time seem overwhelming in a way that makes one feel like a clenched fist.
Courtney Waller
beautiful! you have an amazing understanding of how to draw the human body :)
Paul Davenport replied:
Thank you Courtney - thats due mainly to me doing lots of life classes :-) figures and faces do hold a fascination for me though, as our brains are hard wired to some extent to interpret them in ways we don't with other things... I find them intriguing!
