A Little Sketch of the Model - original charcoal portrait drawing

I absolutely love to work in black and white, especially when drawing from life. I did this drawing using a General's Peel and Sketch with a 'hard' rating which I rarely use, but am actually really pleased with this little sketch.  The paper is Strathmore Mixed Media, 8.5 x 5.5".  Some of the lines are restated, which I left (obviously) because otherwise, it's easy to keep making the same mistake, plus leaving the lines lends movement and also tells the viewer the path the artist took in making the piece.  Thanks for stopping by!
 

Submission - acrylic still life painting

A fun thing to fool around with in my quest for experience with acrylic paint.  Maybe it's a little abstract, but I really enjoyed slapping the paint on.  I did this one on stretched canvas, 8 x 10". Thanks for looking!

Drawing of Small Trees - sienna landscape drawing

This drawing of some small trees is one that I did with General's sienna compressed pastel.  These pastels are just great to work with and are a good value.  I have fallen in love with drawing trees - can't get enough of it.  This drawing is on 12 x 9" pastel paper.  Thanks for stopping by!
