A Charcoal Study
In Repose
8x10” inches
Charcoal on Strathmore Paper
2020
A charcoal study of a figure in repose. The goal was to capture the concrete shadow edge quality by the term of the assignment, however my personal goal was to capture an accurate replication of the figure, one without relying on tracing, projectors, printing larger papers, etc. An earnest attempt at sighting. My greatest regret was the piece was done on a small piece of sketchbook paper, rather then a larger piece of RFK, Strathmore, or even newsprint. Had I done this larger, I would have had an easier time rendering in all the subtle little details that became difficult to touch without wildly misbalancing another part of the piece.
