Saturday. Rediscovering charcoal.

I start with a view of my lounge - recent work beautifully displayed.

Here is more detail of what I have been doing. Firstly, I started another quick scribble drawing. This time I did have a general thought of "safe distancing"

Trying not to be clear. Keep it ambiguous. I am already getting worried about various narratives coming to mind.

I'm concerned. There are violent overtones here. I cant go any further with this at the moment. I need to work from looking rather than inventing.


I searched my photos for a sunflower image suitable for charcoal and found this, which I turned to monochrome-

So with this on my laptop I started drawing-

Working very fast- not too critically. I then started adding tone-

The above was just adding charcoal with some smudging - no rubber used yet. Then I added more and did start using a putty rubber shaped to a sharp edge for each use-

I will continue with this and put it in my next post.
