Charcoal & Chalk

When a local artist needed a special pose for one of her art projects she made arrangements with Argos Gallery to schedule a model and host a drawing session. There was room for several other artists to take advantage of the 3-hour pose, so I signed up for the extra session.

After a couple of drawings of charcoal on newsprint as usual, I switched to charcoal and chalk on gray Canson paper.

I usually cleanup the newsprint texture. This time I enhanced it.
