About this artwork
Original red chalk drawing (very nicely framed).
Sanguine or red chalk is chalk of a reddish-brown colour, so called because it resembles the colour of dried blood. It has been popular for centuries for drawing (where white chalk only works on coloured paper). The word comes via French from the Italian sanguigna and originally from the Latin “sanguis”.
Many of the old masters used red chalk but it seems go have been rarely used of late. I have… been using it for about 10 years and love the effect and colour.
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 mood conveyed through the entwined pose). The eye is drawn to the face, and the brain (having been given enough clues) fills in the rest.

« 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.
