Russell Crotty is a versatile artist. He is known for his astronomy inspired pieces. In contrast are his surf pieces. Observing the ocean, beach, and waves from sand dunes, he captures the pastime of many californians: surfing. I find that Russell Crotty's work corresponds a lot to the exercises we did in class on Thursday. In the first piece, the drawings are composed of many small gestural drawings. By choosing this style of drawing, Crotty displays the fluidness of the ocean and waves he observes.
In this next piece, Crotty shows us the next step of his gestural drawings. The viewer is able to see remnants of his initial drawing in the waves of the piece.
The third piece is another example of a more detailed version of a gestural drawing. Despite the addition of more detail, the simplicity of the piece allows the viewer to see the fluidness that Crotty was trying to posses.
