Pastel sketch of a Cow Skull

  
Charcoal and Chalk Pastel on Canson 46 x 30cm

Having had a bit more time on my hands this last week or so I decided to wander
around my local landscape in search for suitable drawing material. In a nearby woods
I passed this cow skull picked clean by time. I couldn't resist sketching it, as it made 
such an attractive subject, despite its obvious tragic history. 

Thanks for looking :)

Quick pastel sketch




Charcoal and colored chalk on canson 40 x 30 cm

It's been a while since I posted so I thought I might upload this quick sketch of the Gearagh as twilight approaches. Less is more I think for this type of description and it is so tempting to try to accurately portray what you think you can see, rather than the mystery offered by the fading light.

Thanks for looking :)
