The two artworks displayed show two different approaches to working with charcoal media. The first work employs a dark-to-light method, in which I apply a dark layer onto a white background using charcoal through expressive markmaking. In the second work, I employed a light-to-dark method, using charcoal to block out the background. Then, I used a kneadable eraser to introduce light and tone. Through these, I emphasised the three-dimensionality of my works.
The two artworks displayed demonstrate two distinct approaches to working with the paint medium. The first work employs a tone-based approach focusing mainly on the dimensions of the face. In the second work, I used an abstract approach to create a sense of warped perspective that focuses on the shape and form.
