Old church graveyard, drawing in charcoal and pastel
An old churchyard in Norfolk - again done in charcoal (willow and compressed) on pale grey paper, with touches of pastel for a little colour. I think it's a subject that works with this limited colour scheme. I do love charcoal.
The textures and marks on the stones and the lovely light interested me - and the pigeon obligingly posed :>)
details:
just done because it interested me - I don't suppose many would want a graveyard on their wall???

would love to see your drawings of churchyards/graveyards ..... hint hint!
I need to work on things for their own sake, because they interest me. I always find my own angle on something that's an assignment or I produce work without that spark.
I've been looking at work by Adrian Berg and he has a very unusual way of handling space in his paintings. He's worked with an interesting blend of tame and wild landscapes. Will so a post on him soon.
I haven't heard of him - I'll be interested to read that
