Drawing of the week!



This is the drawing of the week for Oct. 30- Nov. 6... From this point forward, I will post a new picture each week. A new one if possible, or, as in the case of this week, an older piece from my collection. This week, a graphite pencil drawing of Charles Darwin from a photo. Want to see more?

Binnen- Amstel View, Amsterdam

An Introduction


Having recieved only basic training at the University of Arizona (oil painting I and II, and drawing I), I began to draw in earnest after I graduated from university. From just a drawing or two in 2000-2001, to several drawings a year by 2004, I have begun to take art seriously as of late. I plan to re-visit my old stomping grounds in Europe sometime in 2007 to collect more photos to draw from.

I mainly utilize graphite pencils made by Staedtler (and a mechanical pencil for the detailed work) and colored pencils by Faber-Castell. I usually use smooth Bristol paper by Strathmore.

Though I have not appeared in any major gallery exhibitions... I would definately like to do so. Please feel free to contact me. The individual depicted in this post is Roger Waters of Pink Floyd.

Greetings


This is a picture I completed on Oct 19th, 2006. Of the Church of St. Nicolas, in Amsterdam. Please visit my website to see more Amsterdam and Europe pics.
