Alluring I have to admit that while I have dabbled in it, I haven't been such a huge fan of charcoal. Know a lot of the lessons I have combine paints and charcoal, and I have approached cautiously. I just don't like the dirty look, or the mud that you can easily get. Heck, I don't have any problem doing that with my paints. This week we had Robert Kelley as our instructor. This guy is a master manipulator of charcoal. He is a master. It was wonderful to watch his several hours worth of video and listen to his thought process. Of course I always seem to have to deviate. I thought I was going to try to do the straight lessons this year. But Again I have finally decided to maybe use the same reference, or not, but let "my style" try to shine through. I am not real sure what it is, but I am trying to give it free rein. So I decided to use charcoal, but also add some color. We have had nothing but days and days of rain and gray skies. Where
