These are life drawings of a model in Japanese Bondage (“Kinbaku”). Rope artist, Arisue Go, holds an occasional life drawing session at the studio of painter, Hideyuki Usuki, in the Kagurazaka neighborhood of Tokyo. I had the good fortune to attend in January 2012 and make these sketches.
This is an experiment in painting directly on backlit media using UV LED lights and blacklight paints. I’ve been calling it “Sumi UV”, however, obviously, it is not “Sumi-e” in style or technique . . . The top image was photographed in the dark. The light is coming from behind the translucent painting. The second image is under incandescent lights, but with UV backlighting, and the third image is under incandescent light only.
