This is a painting-charcoal-thingy that I did for my Ethnography of North End Halifax because I didn't want to write a 10-15 page paper. It's a meter by meter swath of burlap with a brown cotton swath hand-sewn onto the back to help prevent the paints and charcoal from going through. Now, a meter by meter doesn't sound particularly big, but it takes up half my bedroom wall, so it IS big. Or my room is just disgustingly small... For the paints, I used acrylics, and the charcoal... is just black and white charcoal. I've never used either medium before. Frankly, I finger-painted all the painted sections, and everything in charcoal was done on a wing and a prayer. The picture doesn't look as nice as real life, but as with all things, real life usually ends up looking better than a picture.
There IS meaning behind all of it, but meh- I don't feel like writing it down.

You've never used acrylics or charcoal before?! O.O But it looks like you've been doing this for a while... or have you been deceiving me secretly? (jk, jk )
I really like it!! Beautiful work!!

Haha, no, I give you my word, my friend. I have never ever used acrylics or charcoal before, nor do I intend to pick them up again. I'll stick with my pencil crayons from now on.
I'm glad you like it, though. Thanks so much~

Aww; is it 'cause they make a mess? It looks really great though. Ah, well, you're the artist - I can't force you to do anything.
You're welcome!
