Man in a Blue Scarf, by Lucien Freud

Inspired to Sketch at the National Portrait Gallery

Drawn at the best Lucien Freud Exhibition

Meet one of Lucien Freud's well known paintings, Man in a Blue Scarf, inspired to sketch onto the OFFICIAL program notes. Page 38 discusses this masterpiece at this retrospective 2011 show, Lucien Freud Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Freud single handedly reinvigorated the art of portraiture, Didn't HE?

SAVED from it's dry bankers walls and dowdy dark institutional atriums and hallways

to express the raging man and women within.

Process

Backgrounds for my casual impression are chosen from printed material. They are Illustrated on top of chosen horoscopes, ads, photos, headlines and even on triple x pages. Drawings are made quickly and spontaneously with a unforgiving sharpie. With heads in constant motion, drinking, laughing my renderings develop a life of their own and are rarely photographaphicly realistic.

Did my drawing made it home? Spark a conversation or reaction? Feel free to comment or contribute, tweet or Facebook. If u visit please leave a mark!

If you would like a photo for reproduction please indicate the post and description and I will create a printable PDF.

Thank you

David Knighton,

Casual Impressionist
