The Abstract Beauty of Black ( and all the shades of Grey) Workshop

We were a small but mighty group!  4 wonderful participants.
First Day:
1.Large Black gesso and Sumi Ink studies on lengths of butcher paper and large drawing paper( I got great paper on Amazon by Bee- 5 yards @36" wide-- and rag!)
2. Then we proceeded to work outside with charcoal powder and buckets of water.  Wonderful, wild effects, but very messy ( images follow)

Second Day was devoted to exploring possibilities with Graphite Powder
Third Day began with a group process in which everyone worked on everyone's 8"x8" 8 ply museum board. I photographed a couple of the combinations.  Remainder of the day devoted to finishing works- Here is a random sampling:
