Happy New Year 2021!

 (Drawing and painting in Pages)

My annual New Year's card with a study after Modigliani, a Snowman and a little Robin. To add the past year's flavour I drew a few covid masks, a subject of so much debate and angst.

Everything here is drawn using Pages tools.

The mask itself is a modified Polygon from the Shapes menu with a Border and an Advanced colour fill. The straps are curved lines with endpoints.

The figures 2021 are drawn with the Pen Tool. When you click on Shapes in the Tool Bar you can see it in the top right corner.

'Modigliani's' model is a combination of edited shapes with colour fills.

Happy New Year!

A Study after Modigliani.

Italian artists Amedeo Modigliani was friends with Russian poet Anna Akhmatova in 1910s. He made several dozen minimalist portraits of her. 

Here, I am recreating one of Modigliani's drawings with Pages' Draw tool, adding colour and some other effects. 

This is an unfinished study. I am publishing it to show the work in progress. 

Detail, head.

Composition:

After Modigliani, a Study Made in iWork/Pages.

This is a study after Amedeo Modigliani, the great Italian artist of the 20 Century.

I drew it in Pages using the Draw Tool (find it in Shapes menu) and combining edited shapes with various gradient colour fills. Style options for lines in Graphic Inspector give additional possibilities when working on details, for example hair.
