Charcoal Series I: Bright Eyes by Kurt Garrett

Charcoal Drawing from Photo. Dimension 18" x 24".

This is the first in a series of charcoal drawings on paper aimed at finding the characteristics and particularly the limitations of charcoal. Compared to pencil (graphite of lead), charcoal is faster but does not blend as smoothly. Charcoal gives a rougher feel to a portrait but a classical art-feel. And charcoal is messy...but worth it.
