Splash original charcoal drawing
Mesmerizing! Hypnotizing! Relaxing and exciting at the same time! I hope you enjoy my fine art charcoal drawing of waves splashing up over rock piers near cliffs and sea with cloudy skies in Vernazza, one of the villages of Le Cinque Terra, Italy. Such force! Such power! Such joy in watching this repeated meeting of water and rock.Monochromatic images tend to move me emotionally in a very different and profound way than those with color. But sometimes, I like to add a surprise splash (hahaha) of color to a drawing. On this charcoal drawing of a seascape in Italy, I added some black pastel to increase the range of tones for a higher contrast, but I also added a wee bit of blue into the rocks. The paper I used is a thick paper made in Valleriana, Tuscany, Italy.

Kelly Borsheim's Art - Notan Design Black and White Shapes Drawing Process
I include here an image of the beginning of the drawing for Splash. The Splash one was extra fun because I was drawing in Italy while watching the solar eclipse live online in the USA and thinking of the connection between the moon and water... and women.
I generally start by working out the design of the dark shapes vs. the light ones, or Notan Design
