St. Ignatius Chapel Art, Part 2

Below-this is not in or of the chapel per se, but it is certainly inspired by it- and also by Isaiah during Advent.

Learning Drawings

The pieces in this post are ones I call "learning drawings" because they are pieces that began initially as exercises to learn a new technique, a new kind of paper, a new kind of pastels, etc. But in the process these exercises turned into pieces that I consider worth others seeing ...

 The tree to the left was an exercise in learning lines and hatching, a technique in which the pastel artist overlaps lines of different colors in layers so as to create definition and depth.




Below, the view out my window drawn with just oil pastels.

Here I was integrating charcoal with chalk and oil pastels.
