11" x 14" charcoal on Strathmore paper | nfs
I've received a few emails requesting that I post the photograph, if not drawn from life, and an in-process shot of my next drawing. My pleasure!
First I do a quick sketch, then place the features. Darkening select areas with charcoal, my drawing and palette become one as I spread the dry medium onto the lighter areas.
Here's Chase's softer side, the darling I spoke of yesterday.

Marilyn, I really enjoy your work. Great drawing skills and a wonderful feeling of diffused black & white photography in your charcoals.

I like your style Marilyn-very sophisticated. Thanks for posting, Perry
ReplyDeleteIt's my Chasey!!! My, is he camera-shy, or what?
ReplyDeleteFantastic take on him as we that know him know he is so multi-faceted (in demeanor as well as coloring).
Thank you for drawing him. I am so blessed to have such a talented, 'Amazing' friend!!
Hi Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteI have fallen in love with this charcaol piece (and the dog). You have captured him beautifully and the finished drawing is tender and elegant. Well done.
