Difficult drawing XIV - Power-Plate-Zurbaran

2018

POWER-PLATE-ZURBARAN is part of a series of difficult drawings in which I set self-imposed hurdles.

Here, I've copied one of Francisco de Zurbarán's famous Baroque Still Lifes on an activated Power Plate machine (a device that provides whole body vibration in order to train many different muscle groups simultaneously), turning the copying of the Old Master into a drawing challenge of a new kind (and different to what one would typically associate with a “drawing challenge”).
