Charcoal sketch of an aboriginal elder from peppiminati, NT
A few years ago I was wandering around the Merrepen Arts Festival, (formerly the Daly River Mission) on the banks of the Daly River, Northern Territory. The technique is very old, any book on drawing will show this style of drawing, using a tinted paper, (in this case Ingres paper with a ribbed surface to provide a tooth for the charcoal), as the mid tone, charcoal as the darker tone and the highlights picked out with white chalk. For anyone visiting the NT I would highly recommend a visit to one of our major aboriginal arts festivals. They are absolutely great, the dance, the music the artworks, all are so vibrant and full of life and everyone has a great time and shows it. Leave charcoal sketch and back to drawings.
