Wow! I really like this a lot! The ink-stained paper is FABULOUS! Do you make it yourself or buy it? It looks like something I would like to try out.

Amazing, I love the simplicity of it, and yet it still has amazing detail

Re: Brown Pelican in charcoal and pastel
Craig, wow - haven't seen you around for ages!! Great to know you are still on the planet.

This is utterly beautiful. It's so delicate, it looks as though it was drawn with ink and a very fine nib.

I take it this is paper that you ink-stained yourself? What's the technique?

Re: Brown Pelican in charcoal and pastel
I love it. You did a wonderful job. I am surprized that you used charcole and pastel. I am always afraid the charcole will overwhelm the pastel. DId you have this problem when you first started?
