Trunks of dead conifers near Torridon village, Scotland. The trees were destroyed in a wild fire in 2011.

 

We've never seen such suffering so it was time for an update of The Scream . The painter Munch made the original.

The charcoal maker was, unfortunately, absent.

Back again! My slow return got even slower but hopefully returning back to some sort of normality!

 

Anyway a scene from Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire that worked for me in B&W and just adore the charcoal shades that came out of the conversion.

One night, I attempted to sketch my mother. I worked on the drawing for a while, focusing mainly on her eyes. For some reason, I could not capture that sense of watchful isolation that shielded her vision. Hence, I practiced on Ms. Angel Aquino's portrait instead. I knew then that if I get this portrait "right", I would be able to draw my mother's portrait...and I did.

 

This is actually the "Genesis" of most of the pieces on my SHADOWS series- a compressed charcoal study on a 90gsm smooth paper.

During winter season, I try to find a hint of color in the monochrome landscape. But here, I was pleased by the look of this ICM movement in black and white!

The Butterfly came too close:-)

Kilns were built and used in the mid 19th century to make charcoal from the Pinyon Pine. The charcoal was then used to smelt the gold and silver from the ore. These are some of the best examples of kilns I have seen. They are protected within a remote Nevada State Park.

The people and things you give your time and energy to, will define your existence.

For 121 Pictures in 2021 #36 "Fill the frame", this is a closeup of a lit charcoal chimney starter, almost ready to spread out on the griill. It was a rather dark day, and the flames are highly visible.

going back to the most basic photographic equipment can remind you of the poetry, the essence, of the art

 

who is to say whether this picture is good or bad, real or unreal - but to me it evokes dreams, and they spring from the core of us

A2 charcoal - early morning sun over the Coat Hanger.

 

Russula cyanoxantha (The Charcoal Burner) is an excellent edible mushroom. Whilst other members of the Russula family have very brittle gills that flake off easily Charcoal Burners have slightly oily gills that don't break under pressure, this is one of their main identifying features as the cap colour can vary considerably. The common name is derived from the French word Charbonnier (someone who makes charcoal).

 

I was delighted to find this one nestled at the foot of a Beech tree in Island Wood. Despite the fact a slug had already had a nibble I took it home, along with a few other edibles I found & made a delicious mushroom soup.

Faber-Castell Pitt compressed charcoal stick for drawing.. Speedlight with grid behind and upper left - minimal bounce from below right.

A gentle capture portraying what was in my mind at the time. Light, soft, merciful and tender. Almost charcoal like in soft tones as if a pencil drawing.

 

Starting to love & get confident with this dark style and processing I think. The trees of course are glorious and majestic and I always try and do them justice to then best of my current knowledge & abilities.

A charcoal chimney is used to light charcoal for grilling without lighter fluid. It is a steel tube with vent holes and a space underneath for paper. The paper is used to light the bottom charcoal, and over about 1/2 an hour the fire rises through the column of charcoal.

 

The rust comes from the excessive heat of the charcoal burning, creating pretty patterns. The light area is the original color of the steel, which has yet to rust.

Visit to a 15th-century medieval castle where paintings and charcoal sketches by a great Lombard parish decorator (Vittorio Trainini) were exhibited.
