Still Life
The Water Tower
    Here is an in-class drawing I did for my Beginning Drawing class.  It's a still life where we were to just keep building values with charcoal representing the shapes present, then at the end put in the details.  The perspective is a little off in the chair.  Eh.

This is vine and compressed charcoal on paper...18X 24
   Ehhh. That's all I can say about the quality of this photo.  I definitely need to scan this one in..too many reflections and bends and dents...This was a required 10-hour drawing of a landscape...either low key or high key...for my drawing class.  I picked a water tower in the distance and made a low key drawing...with an impending storm sky...though you can barely see it above.  Also hard to tell: the tree on the left is in the foreground, while everything else is in the background.
