Chinagraph drawings

This week I was investigating the potential and properties of Chinagraph ( Glasochrom) waxy, permanent pencils. I discovered that they enable a more painterly, textured and expressive surface to the works I drew over an acrylic ground. Using just black and white did create a sense of drama to the faces, which are invented, rather the depicting anyone in particular. The drawings are on 24 x 30 cm Magnani (Italy) 200 gsm paper.
