Playing with Charcoal

Several years ago, my brother-in-law gave me some art supplies as a christmas gift. I finally got around to playing with the charcoal pencils last night. I had some time to myself after Cassidy was in bed and Jeff was out with the boys. So I pulled out my large sketchbook and charcoal pencils, put on some soft music, camped out on the living room floor, and spent a couple of hours drawing. It was peaceful and wonderful!
Charcoal might now be my favorite for drawing. I usually just use a lead pencil, but I love the way charcoal works for shading.
