Charcoal Drawings
These drawings are big bold and heavy. They are abstract but suggest form and weight. The shapes they make are pleasing and intriguing – like watching smoke rising from a joss stick. The pieces are decorative and monochrome.
I can see that the artist enjoys the effect of the charcoal stick. pressing heavily, lightly, on the edge, creating waves. They seem quite spontaneous.
I too like the effect of spontaneous waves of charcoal. I have pressed heavily and lightly on the edge of charcoal to create perceived folds in fabric, texture of cloth and shifting shadows. Perhaps I should develop this tecqnique to use in whole drawings.
