I did this charcoal drawing on 12 x 9" bristol paper - the medium I love the absolute most! Well, I have so many favorite media and surfaces, but for the moment, this is my true love. Vine charcoal and bristol board, plus a kneaded eraser, are a delicious - not to mention forgiving - combination!
You probably noticed my banner across the top of my blog proclaiming - or screaming, I guess more accurately - that one of my drawings, "The Artisan" was selected as a finalist in American Artist's Drawing magazine cover competition. I am totally thrilled!
Hope you're all having a glorious spring as we are here in the Texas Hill Country - thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi Dar - thank you very much - I really appreciate your nice comment! It's so nice to hear from you - how are you?
Thank you so much, Sue - I'm very glad you stopped by!
Super Connie, I have just discovered charcoal and I am so grateful to find someone who clearly loves it and is so skilled. Do any clients like to purchase the sketches or do you keep them for reference?
Hi Paulette - and thank you! I have sold a number of charcoal portrait drawings. A few were commissions. There is definitely a market for them, but probably nowhere near as big a market as for a painting. I love charcoal, though, and there are some amazing charcoal painters - it's just a wonderful medium!
