1: Brushes (Response to Jim Dine) –November 2011; Charcoal on paper 10’’X14''

The assignment was to create a charcoal drawing of 2-4 tools with dramatic lighting, responding to Jim Dine’s various tool prints. I had seen an image somewhere of one of his prints that had five paintbrushes hanging on a wall. I decided to use a similar subject for my drawing, and took a photograph of four brushes under dramatic lighting to reference.
