12″x12″, Charcoal, Neocolor I and Neocolor II on wooden panel
It’s a still life, but it almost felt like a landscape for a while there with the plants, sunlight, and, if you take a close look, a little critter on the top of the jar.
16″x12″ water soluble graphite on Khadi paper
I love using water soluble anything, so this was a relaxing way to spend a rainy morning. I could only find two of my pencils, however, so I’ve misplaced three of them. I used the tin of Artgraph Viarco graphite as well the carbon “tile” from the same company which helped with large areas of darker value.
My summer art drought continued throughout August. Finally, I used Derwent Graphitint pencils and Faber Castell water soluble graphite for this quick drawing.
Another sketchbook page done, an experiment with graphite, and an embroidery exercise with value.
