  • Re: Old Lock in Charcoal

    Hi Vince - thanks for the compliment! Yes, I did use white charcoal and the only blending I did was where I laid down the white charcoal over the dark. Looking back, I think I should have done some more blending on the lock to give it a texture contrast against the wooden door. If you want more info...

    2008, 24"x18" Compressed charcoal stick on paper This was a drawn from life homework assignment I did last year for my Drawing 2 class.

I would just like some tips...

  • Re: Pleine Aire Drawings

    This is a good forum subject--plein air drawing in sketch books on just on paper. I have a couple of questions: First, I see that each drawing has a hard edge frame around it. Technically, how did you do that? Second, did you "fix" the surface with a spray fixative? and what brand do you like...

  • Re: Bargue Drawing Course

    Hi DaleA - Glad to hear you're having a go at the Bargue course! As far as the book-binding, I've read the same thing about it being poorly bound. Honestly, I don't see any problems with mine, but I haven't gotten so far that I've tried scanning pages from the middle of the book yet...
