“Small placements first; then a flowing line goes looking for your face.”
Kaavi red-ochre line & turmeric wash on warm ivory
Sit for KaviOne face, one line. Where the dots were honest the line found the face without hunting. Where they were hopeful it wandered. The hand held graphite, the sumi brush and the sable brush all day. A plain day, and plain days are most of the practice.
How few pulli can hold a likeness before the line begins?
The week’s record
One sitting over one day. One medium throughout: kaavi red-ochre line & turmeric wash on warm ivory. What stands open: How few pulli can hold a likeness before the line begins?
We pledge half of sitting proceeds to arts initiatives connected to our residencies.
Nothing here is settled. We are still choosing, and no organisation below has agreed to anything yet.
The artists are fictional. Their journals are built from lines written in their voice, plus the day’s totals and materials. No photographs, names or personal notes go in.
