Another 30 Second Charcoal Study

•

I have only taken one official art class, and in that class, I found out that my style was not what the class taught, or for that matter, what it valued!

For better or worse, I have kept my style!

But in that class, we experimented with a wide variety of materials and exercises, many of which I would never have tried on my own.

One of them was working extensively in charcoal, beginning with doing 30 second charcoal studies.

I had never had a lot of success with charcoal, but I learned a lot about using this medium in my class.

Below is another of my first 30 second charcoal studies.

I am not posting it because I think that it is great, but because I hope it shows that you can show posture and even attitude very quickly using charcoal, and I hope that if any of you are avoiding using charcoal as I was, you might reconsider the medium.

I will post other beginning 30 second charcoal studies later, as well as what I hope are better examples of charcoal art!

Thanks!
