Project 3 - Quick Charcoal Drawing on Masonite - "Layers"

I can only say I somewhat love this piece. I feel as if because I only spent one class period on the charcoal drawing it isn't worthy enough for me to say that it is the most successful composition I have done while having Brandt as a teacher. I have never been able to make a good piece of art in a short amount of time in my opinion. However, that was sort of the point of the project, to make a compostion quickly, as in making quick marks. Without time being taken into consideration, I do love it because everything seemed to make itself work. Although it appears as if I purposely spray painted the brick color in strategic areas or purposely made the brick column at the top slanted to help the drawing flow, I really didn't. They were both just "happy accidents", which is a continuing theme amongst my successful pieces.

  1. Well I happen to think this is a really good piece. :) Happy accidents though they may be, it does flow well and the splotches of color really make it pop.
