charcoal/chalk on cotton paper approx. 16x11" ©2014 Diana Moses Botkin
This study is a demo from a two-day portrait workshop I taught this past September at Artisans at Dahmen Barn in Washington.
I enjoy teaching this forgiving technique for capturing a fairly quick likeness, using charcoal and chalk on toned paper.
Hannah was one of the models for my class. She was a pleasure to draw with those expressive eyes and her loosely styled hair.

Diana, I'm very impressed with your charcoal portraits. They're wonderfully animated with a strong sense of volume and light/dark. Really fabulous. Also: glad you enjoy my latest woman painting.
a wonderful drawing!
wonderful portrait work Diana...lucky students to watch it all come together! Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much, Marie, Celeste and Mary. Wishing you and yours blessings at Christmas and for 2015!
