"Life Drawing Sketches" - original charcoal drawings from life

I used Strathmore Toned Blue Mixed Media paper and General's Primo Euro pencils for these sketches.  They're timed poses so it's that great training again where you don't have enough time to "finish".  Such fun and so challenging! Re General's Primo Euro pencils, I'm really worried they'll be discontinued.  They have a smoothness that glides across the support which makes them a dream to draw with.  If you haven't used these fabulous pencils before, give them a try!  Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Kitty's White Sundress - charcoal and white pencil figurative drawing

I'm loving this 12 x 9" Strathmore blue toned paper.  It's heavy and beautiful - a dream to work on.  Also, I used General Pencil Company's Primo euroblend charcoal pencil set - three charcoal pencils and a white one.  They are smooth as silk - my favorites - and if you like to draw, you will love them, too.  This company makes the best pencils IMHO - there are the regular charcoal pencils, as well as the handy Peel 'n' Sketch.  All winners!  Thanks for stopping by!
