Charcoal experiment


I did this piece by using charcoal. During experimenting with charcoal, I added pressure to the top of it and started to create expressive lines. I didn’t think that this created the affect I wanted so I pull a rubber down the page three times. I think the affect created in this piece was successful, my expressive lines worked really well and overall looking at the piece I feel that it shows exactly what I wanted to express.


This was the second piece I decided to create with charcoal. I found that turning the charcoal on its side and twisting it around the page creates a really nice effect. I then smudged the charcoal in certain places to create a shadowing affect. I feel that by doing two charcoal pieces, I have developed my understanding of charcoal therefore I will be able to use it throughout my further work.
