Noah

Charcoal drawing ( 7 x 9  in ) on print stock paper.  This was done largely with charcoal dust applied with  a sponge and the dark lines drawn with vine charcoal. Light areas are lifted by eraser and a bit of white conte used for the lightest highlights.  There is so much to be learned while doing a simple charcoal drawing.

I will continue with this technique but my next charcoal drawing will be on recently acquired Rives paper, where I am hoping to achieve more of a watercolor effect.
