A co-operative diptych drawing, I did the drawing, my daughter did the photography and photo editing and composition.
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders Well don’t you know that its a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder
Charcoal on Stonehenge paper, 14 × 24″ You must use glazes of charcoal to build up the rich darks and textures on this paper – but the tough but soft surface takes the manipulation well.
You are just too good! Your daughters composition is excellent!
Thanks! My daughter started the drawing but got frustrated with the charcoal medium. I haven’t done charcoal on paper, but thought I’d give it a try. The concept was just too good to discard. My next few works will be the same medium, demanding but great contrast in the end.
Great work. I love this feeling. Very somber, yet holds my attention. I also love the fact that it was a “family” project, kind of goes right along with the story in the picture. gail(angel312)
