Rain came through today and cooled everything off a bit. I couldn't wait to take pencils and paper outside to draw. I'm making an effort to rediscover some art materials that I have neglected for a long time. I love charcoal! It is wonderfully messy and expressive. This was a quick exploratory drawing... and a lot of fun.
I love the way the branches come off the trunk at odd angles. The paper is a rose-colored Ingres I had sitting around. It was fun to work on. The foam backing board that the paper is taped to is an old one that I like to take out in the field. It's full of acrylic paint from previous projects, and makes a very soft surface to work on.
