Barn Front

Graphite on  Smooth card

   I found this drawing while I was cleaning out some papers.  It was about a quarter of the way completed, so I thought since I haven’t drawn in a while I would just finish this.

  I don’t know what it is about old barn and building faces that I find so appealing, but I do.  I just love the rustic worn out boards and chipped bricks.  I guess it’s the country girl in me.

The only thing difficult about this piece was  the grass.  Drawing grass and trees are still pretty hard.  I’m not too thrilled with the paper.  I don’t know what kind it is but it’s has a pebbly tooth to it.  I had a hard time getting a sharp line even with using a mechanical pencil.

Be Well and Happy Monday!
