charcoal memories...









i miss the feel of vine charcoal in my hands... the looks on the faces of the students i would assist in beginning drawing, as well as those who would carry on to figure drawing. there is something about the classroom at cos that i haven't seem to have found here at sonoma state. maybe it was the chemistry of a junior college that helped shape the way i see my work, and that of others. nonetheless, i take in all i can here at university, and sort through what i am experiencing now. i have an attachment, or a soft spot if you will, for bamboo skewers, kneaded rubber erasers, vine charcoal, and strathmore drawing pads. give me these and a drawing horse and i am one content girl. here are some charcoal drawings from studies over the years...
