CHARCOAL ON FABRIANO, 750MM X 1400MM. THE PENULTIMATE STAGE

NEW WORK IN PROGRESS

CHARCOAL DRAWING IN PROGRESS - 'WHEN SMOKE CLOUDS THE EYES' ONE MORE FACE TO GO, THEN THE ENJOYABLE & ORDERED MESS BEGINS

INTRODUCTION TO DRAWINGS: HAVING THIS FRUSTRATING PHYSICAL DISABILITY OF NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO DRAW STEADILY WITH THE HAND DUE TO A PREVIOUS INJURY, ALL CHARCOAL DRAWINGS IN CHARCOAL ARE CREATED USING A FINGER DIPPED IN PIGMENT AND APPLIED TO PAPER IN A PAINTERLY MANNER. TO COMPLETE A SINGLE IMAGE IS PHYSICALLY DRAINING, BUT NONE THE LESS THERAPEUTIC
