Geraniums

This week I've been working with tinted charcoal and dry pastel pencil. I did this same stilllife a few weeks ago in colored ink/watercolor and wanted to try it in pastel pencil.

Kitchen Jars

This is a still life pencil drawing of my glass kitchen storage jars.

'The Stinkin' Rose'

This was another charcoal assignment we had to draw for art class. We were supposed to bring fruit to draw but I was so intrigued by the shape, color and texture of onions and garlic that I had to draw them instead. When I was done it mad me think of the name of a restaurant in San Francisco called the Stinkin' Rose. I've never had the pleasure of going there but everyone who has says the food is great.

Traditional

This was my first charcoal still life drawing. I took my first real art class this year and learned to used materials I've never used before. I had an excellent, sensitive, creative art professor named Patricia who taught us how to use and not be afraid of using new mediums and techniques.
