Yet another one



Ok, I put myself in a more favourable light this time (darkness). Sorry, it's my English sense of humour. I can't help it. Seriously I want to get the hang of charcoal better. I don't like the idea of its impermanence but I like how you can make corrections relatively easier and its got more whoomph than pencil.
Charcoal on paper approx 10" x 10"

Thank you Barbara, its funny this inspiration business but sometimes when I am feeling a bit in the painting doldrums I just go back and look at some of my favourite artists' work and I'm ok again. Good that we've got the internet!

Cheers Simon - yes, she looks a bit as if she's going to jump off the page!

good one! I love charcoal for the same reasons - it's so painterly :>)

Thanks Vivien - yes charcoal does encourage a more painterly approach, you are right.
