Charcoal Drawing


Photographer tries drawing...

July 2007 we spent our honeymoon in Aruba. The month following I took classes towards my Master's degree in Visual Arts Education at SUNY New Paltz.

Having little drawing experience, and in a roomful of non-photographer artists, I felt humbled, and motivated. My esteemed drawing professor Chris, a talented artist with amazing technical skills, prodded me to push the envelope and create a drawing of my very own, based on multiple references. After much praise from my fellow artists, and successes from previous drawings, I felt inspired!

The resulting charcoal drawing existed in my memory of our honeymoon beach, but moreso it doesn't necessarily exist, except on paper...
