This is an exquisite reminder of the importance of great draughtsmanship. I have recently been re-discovering the joys of charcoal and this stunning work is further inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

Mischa,

What a treat. This is absolutely beautiful.

Jeanine, thank you.
 

At the moment, I am working on four drawings in charcoal plus I have three paintings in process. Yes, you are absolutely correct draftsmanships is a must. Get a good drawing down and throw a wash over it and call it done. Do you recognize this one? (not sure if it will come up ok)

I work from a 2m x 2m room in my apt. The easel faces the door so I can step back, only way to get distance. I am trying to raise enough capitol for a studio. O yes, then there is the marketing part. O boy!


Janel, thank you for such kind words.

Mischa, beautiful work , such subtle transitions , I follow you in what you said about charcoal.

Grethe, thank you for noticing and for taking the time to say so. Its not easy but it is a lot of fun.

With each new drawing I strive to learn something new and it newer fails there is always room for me to learn something new. I noticed that you enjoy working with charcoal. So, glad to see that. Don't get me wrong, I love working with oil but I try not to rush and think my self good.

Thank you Misha, I would totally take you up on your offer! ;)

I got to this one late, Mischa. Very very nice!

Thank you Julie, that is nice of you.
