I had been away from art for some time so I decided to start taking some art classes. I started out with Drawing & Composition which was a class that used only dry media. For this particular piece, we were supposed to take a color picture and convert it to black and white using black and white charcoal. It took about three weeks to do this project. This was a little outside my box since I prefer doing portraits and figure drawing. We did this drawing using a grid much like the old masters. It started out as a small picture which we were to increase by size.
