This was done in vine charcoal, and was based on a reference photo and lesson in the “Sketching Places Quickly” course by Phil Davies on ArtTutor.com.
Iris – in Pastel Pencil & Charcoal
The reference photo I used here was an image by Capri23auto from Pixabay. Earlier in my life, I lived at a house where purple and white irises like these grew.
I drew the outline in vine charcoal, and used Derwent pastel pencils for the color.
Seated Figure in Willow Charcoal
This study was based off a reference photo from an ArtTutor class I took. This is my first time using willow charcoal, which seems to me quite similar to vine charcoal, only it’s black as opposed to dark gray. And it’s a bit harder than the vine charcoal, although both are labeled Medium, and the manufacturer (Winsor) is the same.
