photo of a practice charcoal sketch of a horse, facing forward

I'm definitely liking charcoal, though I only started learning it. Here's a practice charcoal sketch of a horse on newsprint, in prep for Observational Drawing class Tuesday night.

This drawing is a stunning pencil sketch of a serene landscape, featuring snowy mountains in the background, a forested area in the middle ground, and what looks like a river winding through the foreground. The shading captures the depth and texture of the scene beautifully, emphasizing the contrast between the rugged peaks and the softer, flowing river.

The last two sessions, e looked at someone else's sketch of a landscape and tried to reproduce it in graphite in Grouper observational drawing class.

The image is a layered, abstract artwork featuring three human figures amidst a textured, painterly background. The figures are rendered with partial detail, blending into the composition. The left figure appears to be a woman with dark hair, wearing a light-colored shirt, looking outward. The central figure is a man with short hair, wearing a dark jacket, facing slightly to the right. The third figure on the right is more obscured and abstract, with faint facial features and a mix of darker tones. The background includes streaks of green, red, blue, and yellow, creating a dynamic and somewhat surreal atmosphere. The overall piece has a raw, collage-like quality.

The image depicts an abstract artwork with a textured appearance, dominated by shades of blue and green. The colors are blended in a way that resembles water or a serene ocean surface, with lighter strokes and patches suggesting ripples or reflections. Darker marks near the center add depth, evoking the impression of small distant objects or subtle movement in the composition. The edges are irregular, and the piece has a hand-crafted, painterly quality.
