I don't get along with charcoal real well, but I'm determined not to let it beat me!
From an old photo of my great-grandmother, vine charcoal...
From my imagination and a charcoal pencil...

My attempts at magazine images to practice different angles/expressions, not easy, charcoal pencil...

None of these resemble the actual models in the magazine, but that wasn't really what I was going for anyway. Just practicing quick sketches with charcoal. And I need a LOT more practice! What fun! :)
Practice for a project in Studying With the Masters Portrait class with Jeanne Oliver, I've been in a creative slump, so thank goodness it's up for two years!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a creative week! :)

I really love the gesso and charcoal process I had never tried it before and I think it's a great way to start a painting.
