Art at the Char House

Wow what a weekend, Art Show at the Imperial Sugar Char House. Beautiful ambiance!

Tall, high ceiling criss crossing into the concrete skies above. Light pouring down broken window panes,  still showing black smudges of smoke long gone and showering the red brick columns. Grafitti on the walls telling of secret romance. Burned out defiant, strong, dark and rusty metal cogwheels, cylinders, gears and shafts staring down proudly at the mortality on earth. Whispers rising high... close your eyes and touch the heaven... welcome to the Char House..


 I spent the day doing art demos. I enjoyed using my new graphite stick (water soluble) on watercolor paper and yupo~ Here is my share~ Enjoy...

    1. Thanks Deb~ These drawings are done very quickly, on Yupo paper. I spray the Yupo with water and then draw with water soluble graphite sticks. Keep the paper slightly tilted to let the water and graphite roll a bit. If you havent worked on Yupo, you must! :D
