I , Gloria Poole, drew this with a stick of charcoal and I used tinted white charcoal pencil for the "pond". I drew it on tinted cardstock paper. I was trying to imitate a technique I saw over the weekend in a tweet to me. I used to draw with charcoal more but in past few years have not used charcoal much because it is not very precise and cannot be sharpened to a point. Well, in pencils it can be sharpened but in regular charcoal, it cannot be sharpened. I don't think I precisely got the "pond" correct. But a sketch is a learning tool always and therefore it is not usually "perfect". I make sketches in many mediums and when I first began to paint I even painted sketches in oil onto canvas-like paper specifically for oils. Now I only paint with oils from a tube on canvases. I do sometimes create oil pastels on paper when the subject demands a lot of texture. I signed this in charcoal also in the lower right corner. I photographed it more than once and uploaded it, and posted it to this blog of mine today 11th April 2016 at 6:43am. Copyrighted, and I, gloriapoole / Gloria Poole / Gloria own all rights to this blog collectively as a whole unit and individually as posts or art. I photographed this on one of my portable drawing boards.
