I must respect this artist for focus on this medium and working in black, white and many beautiful tones of gray, without becoming sidetracked into the plethora of usual bad directions that so many artists fall prey to. Plus, she achieves a real sense of mood, gravity, and solemnity. It is quite far from the qualities I seek in my own drawings which are much smaller and more influenced by aspiring to an autographic line style depicting human faces, figures, and landscapes. As for precendent of Erin's work, one could name the mysterious charcoal drawings of Seurat. Congratulations on nice work and dedicated persistence.
The problem of the charcoal is that you can not keep the drawing for a long time without changes on it. If you spray it , during the years will become yellowish and lose the black/white impact. Anyway it is an amazing job.
@@jcerullo5015 Anyway ,i admire artists who try so hard with that medium ,which is very difficult. She is amazing, also others ,i can remember one South African guy who wets his paper first ,another girl whose name i can not remember now, these are real amazing, I would never dare to imagine that I could do this in so high level ,and I am an artist too. But the only medium i am not trying to use is charcoal.
@@antoniskyriakou327 you wet the paper to make the paper flat There buying there paper by the roll and not sheet. There also using water color paper so it will absorb a lot of water. You also do this when using watercolor it called sizing the paper. This is done before so the paper will not wrinkle.
@@jcerullo5015 Ok. I paint wet on wet in a watercolor paper. But he used a 300 hot paper not cold. That means it was aready flat without any teeth .Anyway. Big respect to them
Sorry. This is a pet peeve of mine: Please, drop the background music. It's annoying, distracting and totally unnecessary. The message is appealing and interesting enough without it. End of petty rant. ___________________________________________________ I always regarded the practice of drawing as a poor cousin of painting. I drew only to be able to proceed with the application of my oils. It was merely a means to an end. But I came to appreciate and value drawing as an end in itself. It is an elegant art form that can lead to profound results! The work I have done with graphite and charcoal during these last months of '' sheltering in place'' has produced pieces that compare more than favorably with my oil paintings. Do you treat your charcoal to prevent smudging?
Appreciate hearing your story and amazing work out of your experience!

no the yellow is caused by not using acid free paper. the paper turns yellow not the charcoal. Keep it out of direct sunlight also helps.
