I’m pleased to have reached my 100th blog post. Here is another large scale drawing from a long time ago. Layers of compressed charcoal build up the tones. I washed over them with a brush, which formed the drips. the perspective is off but the piece was more concerned with creating an atmosphere. It’s based on the Belfast Telegraph building on York Street.
Stunning and affecting.
Thank you Chris.
Congratulations John! Your ability to convey mood and tone is superb.
Thanks very much Miriam.
handy with the charcoal John!!
Really like the art. Love the title of this one especially .. gives me another artistic visual in my head; like the night pouring in as a dark liquid in a glass
(:
Thank you very much Lila. Yes I think titles are very important to the overall reading of the piece. I really like that dark liquid visual you have.
