"A Moment for Thanks" Figurative Charcoal Drawing by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

"A Moment for Thanks" Figurative Charcoal Drawing by

Arizona Artist Mary Opat

14" x 18" Charcoal on Paper

The photo used as reference in this drawing was taken by my good friend

Jean Smith.  The lighting on the subject and pose made the composition

 an easy decision.  I used charcoal on a greenish-gray blue charcoal paper.

Quite a lot of the blue tones come through in the beard and hair.  It

helps to give the look of white hair in the cool shadow areas.
