For the past five plus years, Portland-based artist

Elizabeth Haidle has attended figure drawing sessions and honed her illustration skills. Party of One gathers together a medley of her most dazzling watercolor creations from this period. Delightful to look at, these lushly painted drawings also uncover the nuances of expression and gesture and evoke the personalities behind the poses. In addition to the gorgeous art, this collection offers insights into the creative process. Each tableaux of painted figures is accompanied by commentary from the artist herself -- fresh, philosophical, funny, thought provoking, and brief -- like the

musings of David Shrigley.

在过去的五年多时间里，住在波特兰的艺术家伊丽莎白·海德尔（Elizabeth Haidle）参加了人物画课程并磨练了她的插画技巧。本书收集了她在这一时期精彩的水彩创作。这些画作令人赏心悦目，同时揭示了表情和姿态的细微差别，展现了姿势背后的个性。除了华丽的艺术之外，本书还深入展示了海德尔的创作过程。每幅绘画作品都附有艺术家本人的评论，新鲜、富有哲理、有趣、发人深省、简短，类似大卫·史瑞格（David Shrigley）的风格。
