"Black Beauty" charcoal by Texas fine artist Linda Bein

"Black Beauty"
charcoal
12"x18"
This was a class demo using charcoal that I didn't post.  Hard for some of my students to visualize in just one color while looking at a real life photo.  Just a little exercise of seeing the value in one color.  I have used this photograph for several demonstrations; I need to get out and take some new photos but it is too hot!!  Soon my fall classes will resume and we will start with drawing and shading and move on to monochromatic watercolor paintings.  I usually save the charcoal for the end but I think we will start with the charcoal instead of pencil, even though I will probably have to wash the walls when we are done.
$150

"Blizzard" by Texas Fine Artist Linda Bein

"Blizzard"
15"x22"
I was just thinking of cooler weather and my childhood home.  In the winter the blizzard winds create white-outs.  One second you can see bits and pieces of the landscape; the next you see nothing.  I love the tall pines in the north.  "Blizzard" combines the trees and the snow....wishfull thinking since it was 113 at my pool yesterday, now it says 116!!!!
