Maggi Hambling is a British contemporary painter and sculptor. I wanted to write about her as her works on paper has been an influence in my expressive drawing unit.
Her work is very loose and free but so detailed.

I love this charcoal drawing. I like the lines and the tonal difference, it looks like he is blowing away in the wind. When i draw i guess i see in sections and lines and try to draw them as i see them which can look quite scratchy and messy. What i have been trying to do is let my hand be more loose and more confident in the line it is making. I feel This portrait dose exactly that.
One of my Favorite ways to draw is mono type. I ink up a board and then depending on the type of ink i use either fair liquid or turpentine to rub away the ink creating my images.
I love Hamblings 'Sir Norman Rosenthal, monotype'. It is a lot simpler and i struggled how i translate my hand into this style.

I think seeing these mono types will help me translate my hand into this medium. I like how fluid they are.
