I'm still confined to sitting with my foot elevated for part of the day. This gives me a lot of time to sketch. I'm working on a series using a high horizon line. I've been adding some color to the background. Mostly I work with charcoal, graphite and an eraser. I enjoy the give and take of adding tone and subtracting with an eraser. I like the textures I can create. The paintings below were done today.
I found a great video of painter Barbara Moody using this process. She works in layers and layers, applying charcoal and erasing to create drawings that change, metamorphosing from image to image. Here's the link.
