“Planeism” Nude No. 1

Created during an advanced figure drawing course at State College of Florida in 2010, this innovative study demonstrates Fall's groundbreaking 'Planeism' technique where figure-defining lines extend beyond the subject to create geometric divisions across the composition. The piece masterfully combines watercolor glazing techniques learned from mentor Jim Bray with precise colored pencil linework, using a sophisticated neutral grey and peach palette. This academic work represents the artist's successful response to the challenge of creating an entirely original approach to figure drawing, establishing foundational concepts that would later influence his NFL Logo Series.
