Fairy Still Life

I worked on the fairy still life again today. Working hard to keep it simple yet true.

The Drawing

This one is taking a lot of time. I’m working hard on keeping each of the value shapes very simple, but I want every shape to be informed totally by the still life. Its true to the statue yet simplified, I guess I could say stylized.

The more I work the Stonehenge paper in this manner, the more it looks like a printed piece. With the charcoal and my carefulness with building it up on the paper it all has a very uniform texture and surface.

I'm an artist on a mission to do at least 30 minutes of art every single day for the rest of my life and track that progress on my website for all to see. I'm past the 10 year mark and I'm still going strong. Now it's time to give back and help other artists create a life long habit of creating.
