Crash


As we entered the moon-lit forest, the intoxicating smell of pine sap wisped cooly past our noses. The sacred peace that radiated from the nearby babbling brook was shattered, as our presence disturbed a roost of slumbering turkeys. It was the "crash" of these creatures' wings against the pine branches that I remember most about that day, as they made every effort to elude our endangering presence.

This is a 24" x 36" piece of gessoed w.c. paper. A quick, non-consistent layer / ground of burnt sienna acrylic was applied and let to dry. Then a powdered graphite was rubbed over top. Lifting-out occurred through various types of erasers and damp rags. Additive work was done in vine charcoal and white c. p. The whole drawing took under an hour...fun stuff!
