Drawings - including Silverpoint

Above: White Oak Rose - colored pencil on paper

I enjoy drawing with various approaches and materials, including graphite pencil, ink, colored pencil, different pens, pastels, and Silverpoint! For example, even when just sitting in a chair and looking out at a landscape or at the nearby items in the area where I'm seated can have surprising results. I will often leave the drawing in black-and-white line form, and other times I'll use colored pencils, another favorite material, to add the aspect of color. In fact, I might simply place the pencil on the paper and let it lead my hand throughout, to add shape, detail, and context.

Because I tend to work in "series," the drawings, like other work, has a sort of grouped consistency. Yet, among the drawings, like other types of work, you will also see a great variety of how things look.

This is really how I work in general - but in drawings it's usually more linear, and in black-and-white for the most part, at least until--if or when--I decide to add color. I really also enjoy the ways this experience is so different from pastel or painting or even monotype. The above drawing, for example, was done entirely in colored pencil.

Doing these line drawings is way of reflecting and looking at the subject that is often opposite to my other methods, even if the subject is one that is more "interior" and not a landscape, scene, a person, or something else outside of myself. "DreamDrawings Series" felt like the appropriate description for many of them.
