Charcoal and Ink

One of my favorite ways of mixing media is to lightly sketch an outline with a 2B pencil. next I study the colors in the flowers and reproduce them with a light touch and a loose wrist.

After taht has dried I work over the whole piece with a soft charcoal pencil, studying structure, contrast between light and shade and especially negative space.


This is one of my favorite pieces, I particularly enjoyed playing with the composition in the prep work I did for this; 'Charcoal Daisies.'



This piece is available for sale $145 HERE.

Thanks, have a great day!
