About this artwork
A free flowing pencil study.
I love the emotion in this pose and have tried to simplify it down to its very essence - less is more.
If I'd filled it all in, the lower, less-important parts would compete with the focal point (largely the facial expression and suggestion of pose).
I have tried to play-down the unimportant parts bringing focus to the pose and expression of effort with the minimal detail.
The eye is drawn to the upper body and… hands. And, the brain - having been given just enough clues - fills in the rest. An example of 'less is more'.

« As an artist, you have to create not just recreate »
Patrick Palmer is an experienced British painter who has exhibited his work throughout the UK. He previously worked in publishing before deciding to turn to art full-time, and has since been busy composing figurative pieces that focus on the human form. Primarily producing post-romantic nudes amidst a haze of soft colour combinations, he seeks to capture senses of delicacy, sensuality, and elegant suggestiveness.
