Charcoal

Elemental and easy to work with. Used for drawing layouts for paintings.  From a fire it is inconsistent, oddly shaped, crumbly 

and difficult to use.  This is perfect when using materials when you want to work against your ability to draw.

Charcoal   

Charcoal is generally used for studies or prep work.  I produce finished work in this medium.  The tonal range is almost as rich as
drypoint etching.  The pieces become etherial and seem more like still life…contemplative.
