I could do charcoal drawings all day long. When I do them, I don't worry about much - just let go and see what happens. That's when happy accidents occur - well, they're not always happy, but most of them are. Vine charcoal is my favorite for just about any kind of drawing. I like the really soft sticks because they're capable of smoky atmospheric effects as well as fairly sharp lines. When I go into the art store, after I've finished picking out the main things I want to purchase, I always get extra charcoal and a kneaded eraser or two.
Maybe this drawing will become a painting, but in any case there are passages in it that please me. No planning on my part, just happened. Maybe there are some things to change, but if I start fooling with it, it'll get tight. It never fails.
This drawing was done on Strathmore Bristol 6 x 6". Thanks so much for stopping by! Sold
