Charcoal on white paper. 25.5 x 40 cm
Charcoal is so versatile and will give you all the
depths and subtleties of a black and white photograph. The black can
be so intense a black and the delicate softest smudges like a faint
drift of smoke almost invisible, fine and delicate. You can draw
with so delicate a touch the charcoal almost floats over the surface
or with such energy the charcoal splutters into fragments as you draw
the fine line. Yet it is so very inexpensive. Sometimes I draw with
a chunk out of a spent bonfire. That is so unpredictable, it is
quite an adventure. The final result can be fixed with an aerosol
spray. The drawing will not fade or darken for an extremely long
time.
I hope you have liked
the pictures so far. If you liked any of them enough, you can buy the
original: £100 unframed plus P & P. Email me for more
information at nandnjmellersh@yahoo.co.uk.

among those who comment. So start commenting for a chance for a
