Artwork Description:
This is a study of form and light. Using experimental media I was able to create something new and interesting. I began this piece with gesso on black construction paper. It allowed me to focus on the light more than anything else. I then use charcoal soaked in water for the core shadows. The soaked charcoal became smooth and fluid, a lot like litho crayon, but it can be manipulated on the paper. The reddish areas are conte crayon which I used to show secondary light sources.
