This is the first charcoal drawing I’ve done since college many years ago. I still had some soft vine charcoal from an art class I took at Berkeley. This was drawn on Canson watercolor paper. The image is 7×10 inches. I worked on it in two sittings, one yesterday and the other the day before. I looked at a very fuzzy photo I took several years ago while traveling on the train between Oregon and California. Here is a picture of my setup.
I like working in charcoal, but the finished drawing is very fragile and easily smudged.
