charcoal

For this week I want to work on a charcoal piece. Today I worked on a still life that Mr. Ganes has out. I did not find it too entertaining but I really want to work on my charcoal skills since they are not that great. It turned out to be a pretty good rough draft and I think i am ready to start tomorrow. I really like working with charcoal especially vine charcoal since it is more forgiving then compressed. I just need to work on controlling the charcoal on the paper. This summer i worked on a still life charcoal piece of a tea pot with a column next to it. I didnt entirely like it. I am excited to start but i also don't feel like i am too excited because i know i would've written a more exiting blog post! Ill you know how it goes tomorrow!
