I would only add that it also gives you a chance to work out hard and soft edges before you start painting. Great drawings Aaron.

Living in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, for more than 5 years now has seduced me to paint landscapes, a lot of them in pastels, although am primarily a figurative artist.

I love working with vine charcoal; the result really is like a black&white painting. And the idea of using the preliminary drawing as a "blueprint" to recover things lost during the lay-in is great. Thanks very much for posting this. Definitely going to add this step to my process. I love working with vine charcoal; the result really is like a black&white painting.

I will try to do some charcoal drawings before I start my paintings now because of this blog. Up until now I have been doing marker thumbnails, however these drawings are works of art in their own right and should be framed and exhibited. Thanks for sharing this idea. Great drawings.

I agree with your friends-they are really completed works within themselves. I first became aware of your work through the Pastel Journal and have followed your blog and website since-your work is always wonderful.

Glorious! Is it morning light? Yes, it's morning. I liked how the light seemed to be emerging from beyond the trees, so became the real subject of the painting. Thanks.
