These are a 20-minute study above, and a 15-minute one below. These were done with the same U-art/ Nobel charcoal combination, but these were a first try at using some Strathmore heavier-weight roll paper, cut to 21 x 29".
The larger-sized paper was freeing after using so much 18 x 24" paper. The smaller sheets are much more affordable, but tend to feel constraining. I wasn't altogether happy with the relative rigidity and greater tooth of the Strathmore paper. I was hoping it would be a bit smoother. But I have some 24 sheets worth of it, so I'll see what I can coax out of it, before writing it off altogether.
