Drawings
The most convenient thing about drawing is the fact that you can do it wherever and whenever you feel up to it! I used to draw in school at classes. Well, it’s not something to be recomended, but who knows…
Why drawings? Do we, at all, need to bring out this question? Rembrandt claimed that a painting had to be started and finished by a drawing. If you want to paint something specific, you need a good and specific drawing.
It’s just the very first thing one encounters in one’s childhood – we all start by scribbling and continue on and on, impressed with the traces left on paper (sometimes changing paper for walls or furniture). Most give up, choosing something different from art and painting. The rest falls into two groups; the first with people
who continue to scrawl and scribble thus becoming abstract artists; the second with those trying to present recognizable shapes, continuing to paint in accordance with their persistence and possibilities. I’ve started with doodles (especially at school while sitting and being bored by dull lessons or dull teachers), and now, I’m trying not to give up and to find out some new lines.
CHARCOAL
I’ve never tried to work with the real miners’ coal (there’s a good idea, if you’re an artist), but I’ve done a lot of works with the coal for artists. It’s really specific and superb, because it allows you easy and simple erasing, great choice of various lines; it also allows you to study forms and shapes.

PENCIL
At the moment, there are only few pencil drawings on the site in comparison to how many I have done. The most of them are just spontaneous drawings, resulting from boring classes at school, boring meetings at work…I love using pencils because with the right combination of pencils you can make excellent paintings, and you can do that at any time and any place! Even if you don’t have a piece of paper and a small, almost used-out pencil with you all the time, you can get them at any nearby shop!

PASTEL
Tinny colour-pigments are joined to form the basic tool of this technique, the pastel chalks!
Imagine that- very fine powder shaped into observable forms on a piece of paper! It’s a just step in between drawing and painting!
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, Pastel and Fixative to Paper!
