charcoal

truth be told, I haven’t done much painting recently. I go through little spurts of art madness, and then I clean my house. for a few weeks. Right now, Im cleaning.
But that doesnt mean we are not making art.
We did charcoal drawing with the neighborhood kids today. Charcoal is fun. Messy, but the mess can be washed. I used vine charcoal, which smudges better than compressed, but it is more delicate, and doesn’t get as dark. We used ripped paper for negative spaces, tape and eraser. The smudgy part is definitely a hit with all ages. Emery thought the charcoal tasted OK.
I recommend also masking out the border with tape. It makes any drawing look pro. And thats what we’re after – right?
