A Little Breeze

Terry Hinkle

A Little Breeze

This was fun.
I started with a photo that I found in an old reference file – did a marker sketch on white 80 lb. cover stock paper using warm and cool grey markers and then layered cool and warm colored chalk pastels on top.

I dedicate this piece to Jack Kershner of Lance Lot Studios. He hired me right after graduating from college. He taught me so much about the advertising business and I will share some of the wonderful stories with you some day soon in my Journal. Here is one that pertains to this piece -

One early spring afternoon Jack told me that I should bring my lunch with me the next day. He was going to take me somewhere special for a picnic. The next day we closed the shop early for lunch and we walked through the busy business district where the studio was located to an underpass beneath the county courthouse. It was a typical windy St. Louis spring day and we were having some difficulty spreading out our sack lunch on a metal bench that was directly under a flight of stairs that took you up to the landing in front of the courthouse. It was like being inside of a wind tunnel and I didn’t see any special reason for being here… until all of the secretaries that worked in the surrounding buildings (dressed in their business dresses and skirts) decided to also go to lunch and use the stairs that we were sitting under to get to all of the restaurants. It was quite a show as each one battled with the wind whirling up the stairs.

Okay… I am not too proud of that now, but I was just 21 at the time, and this was my first job after school, and my first boss…

    Wow, walking down memory lane. Nice and warm story. How is it going with that book of ours ;0)

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thank you Rebecca. It is a challenge to be ‘delicate’ when your 6’6’’ and 250 lbs. I try:)

    • laughing lightly at your story! hmm.. looks at your eyes , guesses an age, takes a few off, adds some, uses my fingers to count back, and decides your time under the steps at the courthouse would have probably been the mini skirt era ? Cant blame ya. Love the admission of guilt. and, this image is lovely. truly innocent and wonderful.

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    ... and the beat of disco music was playing playing somewhere in the background. Your math is almost as good as your art :) Thank you so much.

  • Barbara Glatzeder

    Barbara Glatzeder

    lol, that’s a lame excuse, Terry ;-)

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Well, at such a young age… any excuse will do :)
    Cheep thrills all around. My boss was a dirty ol’ man… God love him.

  • Tony Ryan

    Tony Ryan

    Wonderful image. The shapes and energy perfect.

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thank you Tony, I appreciate that. It deals with shapes that I am very fond of… and the Energy, well that is something that I am learning more about every day. Take care.

    beautiful work and great story, he must’ve been some boss. :)

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thank you for your comment. Yes, Jack was a wonderful boss and a great person. He had a hand lettered sign over his desk that said: “Keep it simple, stupid.” and after all of these years and all that I have learned, this saying is still at the top of my list of Universal Truths.

    I love that story, and the drawing is so tastefully sensual, you reminded me of a literature teacher I had at the Kansas City Art Institute back in 1969…

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thank you for your wonderful comment. I was accepted at the KC Art Institute as a student in 1973 but decided to go into the commercial art program at KU. It would have been a different experience in KC I am sure.

  • Padrino

    Padrino

    Superb pose and a wonderful technique. Do you block in the shapes with markers and then soften the whole with chalks? I’ve been trying to work out how you do it and get such a soft feel.

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thank you Padrino.
    Yes, usually I will do a pencil drawing and mix of Design Markers and pastel (or paint) and then put the chalk pastels on top to finish/soften. Sometimes I will scan the under drawing into Photoshop first and work with the brightness and contrast (plus sometimes texture) before printing it back out onto the paper I want to try.

  • Padrino

    Padrino

    It certainly works!

  • Terry Hinkle replied

    Thanks!
