Hopper Mausoleum 2 (Charcoal, compressed charcoal, A2 cartridge)
It seemed appropriate to post the other drawing of the Mausoleum. Done at the same time, it shows the front of the building.

These drawings are wonderfully evocative. They remind me of Constable's more sombre work after his wife died, albeit tidier.
I've been looking at the grasses for ages- I wish you did tutorials!! The texture and movement is excellent. :o)
Constable? I *am* in good company! If you're ever in the area, I'd be glad to give you a tutorial, but mostly it's in the combination of charcoal, erasing, fixing, compressed charcoal, more erasing and smudging, more fixing ....
Hi Harry. Love the charcoal studies! I am a huge fan of b/w. I am interested to know what you're going to put on your new blog. Good luck with it and Merry Christmas!

Merry Xmas to you, too, April! I didn't think anyone would notice the new blog. I set it up as an inducement to me to get moving on the (Almost) Painting A Day, but if I go down that route, there's quite a bit of setting up to do (PayPal, eBay etc), not to mention some actual painting! Watch that space. Oh, I see you are :D
Hi harry
Charcoal is not a medium I have used in a long time. You make it look easy.
regards
Trevor
I find it's a very painterly medium, Trevor, and I love it. But I don't show you the ones that didn't work! :)
eBay.Hmmmn. I have considered this too. Have you done this before and was it a success for you?
No I haven't. It's a strange new world to me.
I quite agree with what Serena said. "Evocative" is the word. Fine stuff, Harry.
