This is the male part of a commissioned double portrait. The two portraits were made from life: We did two sessions together. In the first one we planned the posture, the light and the clothes, and I made pencil and charcoal sketches and took photographs. The following days at my studio I prepared backgrounds on fiberboard with colored papers to arrange the basic shapes, the coloring and light and shadow. For the second live session I brought these prepared backgrounds and drew the portraits on top, using charcoal and pastel. This process takes time, but my ambition was to really catch something from the people's personality, some sort of spark – the eternal challenge in portraiture.

“My works are drawings or collages or a combination of both. All of them are on paper or cardboard. I like working with rough, found materials, they have a liberating effect on me. I have an extensive collection of old coloured paper which I use more or less like paint: I place patches of paper, draw or paint over it, glue more paper of a different colour on top again and so forth. This technique allows unplanned shaping, meticulous modulation, and endless rearrangement all at the same time. Drawing to me is not so much about the result on paper as it is about the process of close observation. While examining somebody or something, the object often becomes strange and somehow new to me. I like that feeling of entering the unknown, and the attentiveness and concentration that comes with it. I have a certain fascination with faces as well as with the dressed figure: drapery, costumes, wigs, heels, and their articifiality. I prefer working with life models rather than photographs which again has to do with the experience of close observation, maybe also with that special silent atmosphere when working with somebody real in front of me.” mariakleinschmidt.de
