This is a charcoal drawing I did for my art class. The point of the project was to demonstrate a full range of values (1/3 white, 1/3 all shades ofgray, 1/3 black), and to show depth of field, and to use no lines, only changes in value. The photo is a little overexposed from using a flash. I'm happy with it, even though it was done from a photo (frowned upon, I've learned) ... I did a watercolor a few years ago of the same scene but my dog ate it. I'm happier with the drawing anyway.

Beth....I'm speechless. This is wonderful. One of these days I'm going to come and "let" you show me the process of creating in charcoal.
Oh, I was in that exact location this spring! I took some photos of the fountain in the cloister. Your drawing is beautiful.
Just beautiful!
Beautiful, Beth!
Thanks all. Ianqui, I remember your shots from Barcelona! I loved the ducks at the cathedral...don't know why exactly, but they caught my attention.
Your dog ate it? Ha.
The second time around is lovely. This is beautiful. I'm a bit stunned at your talent....good job.
Thanks for sharing...
Absolutely stunning.
Keith's mom was quite a succesful watercolor artist, and she did most of her paintings from photos. She made a decent living from her art.
