1 of 3 studies of a Rodin sculpture of a couple locked in a passionate embrace drawn at The Met this summer. Rodin’s marbles often serve as jumping off points for figures in my work.

Note: Studio sketches have been worked from and will often have imperfections: fingerprints and/or smudges, holes from the pins that held them to the wall, tiny splatters of paint, pieces of tapes or ripped edges. The sketches have often been worked from for larger paintings or used as inspiration for other work; the imperfections give the work character and show that they were well loved, used, and present in the artist’s studio.
