I bought a gigantic roll of drawing paper about a year and a half ago, with the intention of creating several large-scale charcoal/pastel drawings. But life intervened. My dad (who was my best friend) and my mother-in-law both died unexpectedly in 2023. And I am just now feeling up to making stuff again. I haven't used charcoal in years, so I decided to re-do my Alice Paul print as my test drawing. I plan to add more marks like in my prints in future drawings, unfortunately this old printmaking paper I used did not want to be erased. I'm looking forward to a long, messy summer of drawing ahead. --Valerie
