Corn Stock

August 8, 2023 – A 24″ x 18″ charcoal drawing of stocks of corn. The objective was to learn and control charcoal using a piece that was detailed. Different forms of charcoal were used as well as the color white. Thinking about our actions beforehand was also considered since charcoal prohibits a highlight from becoming bright when used. 

This piece came together when I was finished with it. There were times throughout the process when I felt like there was no image to look at. Charcoal can be very messy and frustrating when it doesn’t erase or it stains the paper.
