"Black Beauty" charcoal by Texas fine artist Linda Bein

"Black Beauty"
charcoal
12"x18"
This was a class demo using charcoal that I didn't post.  Hard for some of my students to visualize in just one color while looking at a real life photo.  Just a little exercise of seeing the value in one color.  I have used this photograph for several demonstrations; I need to get out and take some new photos but it is too hot!!  Soon my fall classes will resume and we will start with drawing and shading and move on to monochromatic watercolor paintings.  I usually save the charcoal for the end but I think we will start with the charcoal instead of pencil, even though I will probably have to wash the walls when we are done.

"Dakota in the Wind" original watercolor by Texas artist Linda Bein

"Dakota In The Wind"
Transparent Watercolor
22"x15"
I have painted this horse, my daughter's first girl, in acrylic, watercolor, pencil, pastel, color pencil, charcoal, and watercolor pencil using different techniques as examples for my students.   Every time my students ask which medium is easier, I show them all the "Dakotas" and just tell them they are different. It is also amazing to them how some of them can look so similar and they can't tell always tell them apart. And every time I finish one, I think of another technique in the same media or a different one that I should do. 
You can easily tell these apart.
