MALE FORM

What a better time to take in some art then at the end of the week. I came across this artist recently and I immediately loved the artist works and techniques and mediums. I think a series of these would look amazing in a gallery wall collage. The artist? Daryle Balcombe, who was born in England in 1977. After working as an illustrator for major publishing companies such as Readers Digest and DC Thompson, he has moved in the direction of his own fine art. I found he uses sketch, charcoals, water colors and even excels at photography.

    1. I'm not sure we can get through the whole sitting. Imagine what the artist would be drawing then.

  6. Love them!
    I really like watercolor as a medium (and I think it's super difficult to work!)

  7. Good paintings but pic #2 looks as though he has got himself tied up in his underpants.

  9. I can only imagine the pearl-clutching and smelling salts required if any of these graced the pages of Readers' Digest!!! Jx

    Des Å“uvres d’art uniques. :)
    Monsieur Balcombe présente bien ses modèles, la première image ressemble à un jock américain.
