Jim Cheatle’s Tray paintings sit between belief and illusion. From Dürer’s rhinoceros to AI image models, this essay argues that art draws its force not from certainty, but from not knowing.

This week’s piece looks at the uncanny - not the gothic, but the quiet wrongness threaded through contemporary life.

A Davy Crockett Hat This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 18-11-25-1’ is a special one. Imagine a young man wearing a Davy Crockett hat. Such a coonskin cap to use the proper word , is a sight to see indeed. Never saw it in real life though, only in movies. Well, not in The Netherlands, that’s for sure. Our male model didn’t come from here but from Denmark but I’n not sure if it’s common over there either. Anyway, we had this young man over last year and we kept him on our list to invite him once more. He could sit perfectly still and that’s always a great quality we life model sketchers and painters admire in models. Then one of the participants asked me if could ask him to keep on this most impressive headgear. He was happy to oblige and there it was: our first pose would become a sitting one. Hairy Business At the same time my initial plan to apply my bit of cubism ran straight down the drain. With all these lush and thin hairs cubism simply wouldn’t do justice to the hat. By its very nature it was the focal point. To render all these protruding hairs spiky was not something I was looking forward to. Besides that, The hairs on the cap and his own hairdo underneath were intriguing enough. See, if I could try to capture them in a realistic way. They almost seemed to flow into each other. The rest was easy. His features I managed to capture immediately and concisely. How wonderful this blueish gray Ingres paper is. Basically, the only thing I had to focus on: the hairy structures and the highlights. The midtones were already present. Back home I elaborated the hairs a bit. Great session!

Henriëtte Sibie’s Portrait This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 18-10-25 – 2’ shows Henriëtte Sibie’s portrait. A bit of cubism but realist as well. My first session’s pastel showed a reclined position but we like the variety of it all. Therefor we already decided in advance to have her pose in two different poses. The second one she stood right up and we had her lean on an easel comfortably. After all, she had to take this pose for one hour at one stretch. Well, leave that to Henriëtte. She’s a great professional model and she can stand perfectly still. Ideal to draw her portrait. Which was my very aim to be honest. Measuring out Proportions Not the first time I did a portrait of her beautiful features though. In fact, quite some time ago, in 2013 I painted one. After that I hired her as model a couple of times but mostly as model for students to pose. However, this time I felt this was my chance to do another portrait. My view on her from the room and the very lighting were perfect. First, measuring out proportions wich was a bit of a drag. The reason is she has a great yet lush hairdo with lots of individual hairs and locks sticking out. Consequently, one cannot compare height and width to establish a clear ratio for defining spatial boundaries on paper. Luckily I could get hold of the length from chin to the scalp just below the hairline. From there to the end of the hairdo way up was equal in length. Cubist Planes The initial goal was to keep it cubist looking and I think I did a good job. Especially some cubist planes in her chest do their abstract magic. These areas can be bothersome to depict. Her clavicles weren’t showing to much because of the overexposure. Nevertheless, by styling some light planes into more abstract ones I got a beautiful contrast with her head. The play of light and dark on her face are cubist too yet more refined. A lovely live session and I got her likeness within that hour.

Henriëtte Sibie This pastel drawing ‘Model Session – 18-10-25 – 1’ is a continuation of my cubist endeavours during live model drawing sessions. Henriëtte Sibie was our model this time. She came to visit us again in community center ‘De Blauwe Tram’. However, not the first time. Last time was about a year ago and in the past I worked with her at Brugman Art in Voorburg. Those who consider themselves live model draftsmen and painters matter once they had the pleasure to meet her. Surely, there are a lot of models around. They flock academies throughout the Netherlands and groups like ours but Henriëtte is knows by all. Also yours truely and my painting of her portrait I made back in 2013 got even sold. Time to extend my series of artworks with her beautiful features and personality as theme. A Reclining Posee A reclining pose was the first one whe had her struck this afternoon. Luckily I had a good view on her front with a slightly slanted mattress she reclined on. Regularly it strikes me people during a live drawing session often tend to begin right away. Not me though because I take my time to thoroughly think through a fine composition. Rule number one I learnt in the past: when someone is lieing flat in a full frontal vision, be alarmed! Trying to capture a model from head to toe is useless. It’ll only deliver you a slender sausage on a paper with more than 75% negative space. That was the reason to skip the lower leg of Jelco in my last pastel drawing by the way. Impressionist Cubism In order to avoid such mishaps I decided not to include her lower legs. From elbow to the upper side of the head formed about 2/3rd of the total height of the paper. The mattress forms were also fun and a good excuse to fill up the negative space. Not to much though, merely a supportive detail to support the body structures. Personally, I like these angular types of impressionist cubism. They serve me well in my search for capturing the model’s forms quickly.

People say the younger generations want experiences, not things. But a good artwork is an experience - every single day. So why do we keep writing about it in a way that drives people away?
