After Image 8.2, drawing within

Without my eye glasses on I begun on leaf 6…the sun was on dusk process so it would cripple some of my vision’s ability to see detail and truthful tinge.  What I want here to settle is the challenge of the models position…top-isometric analysis and the naked skin tone that is nearly defuse will obviously be a struggle to interpret the image clearly. The first pencil stroke is not easy as I try to connect the dots…divide the image into geometric small pieces to relate the other object for balance. I have to wait and never hurry for I must put to mind the importance of a good sketch…fundamental rule to carry.
   It would be expected the next day at daylight these possibilities: dull color, imbalance of stokes, and whatever…but even all these expected results without seeing vivid for this night I have the strong urge to create just after I have my dinner. I need a new fair of reading glasses (it’s broken again for the 4th time this year alone) and a good source of lamp near my working area.

   About the subject at hand; it’s a test of skill and the ability to resolved problems at hand. I’m expert at that, being a scrapbook maker for a long time. Any flaws that may come out at latter times can be turn into a beautiful piece. Hiding fault is my expertise in term of arts…or maybe in other aspect of my life too. Troubleshooting and making amends had been part of my visual diaries even to the point of total make-over. I easily get bothered with tiny details. Yet tonight I will enjoy the moment of painting. Painting must always be easy and enjoyable…free flowing and never stiff…once that important detail is entail then it is not an artwork anymore. A gift must always come as a blessing even from the giver.
   The surreal attitude come when I place the lady inside a wooden drawer…experimented about the curtain as backdrop wishing the sunlight to comes in…the flower design was hurried which I had never desired…it is not good to paint poorly. All must come with love and attention. I will never commit again the terrible mistake of aiming too low and acting very little.
   You can easily get drifted with time and when desires sinks in you blend yourself with your work…then it is Not work anymore but love-making. This time it is just all wishes stirring and I surrender…


   I have to stop and let the next day judge me. Yet there are still some left-over energy so I move to my next model. Heidi Riego’s beauty caught me so I pick her from my downloads. I wish to use color-pencils but I just opted for an instant result and have it on pencil. This time I turn it good and will sleep contented…
   NOW the next day prove to be a different story. Daylight will tell what night refuses to reveal. Plus I have my glasses on…

Collaboration of Silence

   The previous blog (Illumination 028) I have let you preview the illustration I made for Sancheeta's poem. I think it's not yet ready for the final stroke because of some technicality on my computer and my camera. Yet anyway, I wish to share the poem now for comparison...between the "Silence..." Sancheeta Biswas speaks and the "Silence" that I painted. The photo I'm using here is straight from my work table...

silence speak your words

by Sancheeta Biswas




 day dreams, night draws nigh
silence speak your words.

faith in eternity,
faith to paint the infinity
faith to realize
love sterilized 

your lips merged
into the deep breath of mine
hold me for ever
hold us together
let silence be our words
silence in touch spurs,
i arouse like a red,
red in your heart
red letter , 
my sweet heart,
18 may,
 u remember?

the galaxy unknown,
yet the depth dearly known,
contemplate on our thoughts,
in star studded black sky,
silence sanity prone,
u are my amber 
i remember 

love me till the end 
grip the lure, the dale
that i paint,
let silence meet 
two musical soul,
mind and body in 
silken threads 
wish to sail.
transitional voyage, 
sea blue to green ocean,
only SILENCE and YOU prevail.



   Below is the detail from another angle trying to figure out why my camera is not getting the right hue and color from naked eyes. Soon perhaps when I fix the matter I'll post it on Tagged ArtLover Group....get over with my Illumination again...I have to reflect on many things....


   Dear Lord thank you for the people who greeted me on my Birthday...

After Image 8.2 Stick with the Flow

If I skip again and allow myself to be distracted there is a high probability that I shall divert into different frame of mind…and these journal will echo the same randomness of my other books that I will try as much as I can to deviate. While there are urges to create another images into a new page, that is presently taunting my creative juice I have to drink the cup first at hand. Experience tells me to focus first on unfinished business….so here I am doing the 4th page: About The Artist. Here written in 3rd person format:
   The great challenge for him is to finish at least a single visual  journal that he simultaneously create and at present he is currently working on eight (8) manuscripts. Also known as FherMission, he is the man behind the Art of Realizationism.
   He rarely make an individual piece but indulges in series of artpieces that form a constellation of personal experiences bound into, or as a laboratory of self-expressions using images either crafted or acquired.   “All of these and the rest of what the future about the bring is my lifetime thesis….”

   Previous to above mention page I have skipped into page 5 (see I have that tendency) for the promised I made; it’s my interpretation of Sancheeta Biswas poem. Unsatisfied with the image quality when it appears on photograph because my camera phone can’t get the personal appearance. It’s not that I have failed in executing the illustration I want to portray but from the naked eye I am contented.   There are some faults too on the grains since I am using a cheaper pad at P49.00—dullness after the paint cured. But as a Realizationist who have to amend for whatever life brings I must cope and find ways. Actually there is no injustice done to the poem…I put my mind into it.


   I have no more opportunity to revise the book into 8.3 therefore the intentions should be pursued. The world awaits the process of my shredding.



After Image, further editing


Done with page 3 and taking the matter a little seriously and asking patience...to continue. Just a few item were added...the other half of the pencil. There are some poorly executed strokes on the female body area that I have to retouch...and found out the new poster color I bought doesn't have the quality I wish to display. I have to apologized too for the poor quality of the photo I posted here since I am only using my other camera phone.
   The mood for a visual journal with a completed stand-alone piece in itself is on my bloodstream nowadays, so I just let it happen as it dictates. After Image, will just flow as it is...but as I have said will be more thoroughly thought of. By the way, since this already an edited version from the first attempt it is now the episode 8.2 of the series. 
   As a manuscript of course I expect written revelations and explorations or experiential expressions. That would simply come out as the day comes...anything that touch my soul and probably touching the divine as well.
   Doing half naked or totally naked women are not anymore on my agenda...or lesser if I could manage. I believe I'm done on this station whereas I have to prove my conversant on human form...this is just reaction on issues about the pros and cons of nude art. Even loosing a member on the process and then realizing another lessons about differences. Oppps I am not totally done away with nude...if the need arise I will still put it as symbolism. 
   The next goal is the Biography page: About the Artist....
