" Male nude resting while holding book " is a hand-coloured etching using the traditional method of hard wax ground. An etching needle is used to draw into the plate. I think this is most exciting way to draw as each mark feels so final. A good quality piece depends on pressure applied by etching needle, drawing skills and preparation of plate. Intaglio inks are used to hand-colour as a means of defining , drawing attention to muscular areas, I build on this definition by using cotton buds to highlight body planes. This reminds me of making a torso using clay to make a sculpture. I use Somerset paper which is acid-free and will not yellow with age. My male nude etchings start with selecting drawings. I begin by drawing free-hand onto the prepared plate and focus on making strong, continuous lines. This can be an inhibiting experience due to self-doubt and expense. I chose this model for my etchings as he is tall and lean, yet muscular. Life -drawing allows me to practise drawing in detail and gives me great pleasure due to my interest in the human body. I explore the body through drawing, painting and clay, I enjoy the challenge of making it come alive.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
