I found one at the Met in NY just as they were moving it to the basement. I offered to take it home until they wanted it back. There is a large Carlson at Jim's in Lambertville, NJ and I go in periodically and stare at it.

Youy might use charcoal for these as it is so erasable. Use a real Charcoal paper. I like the Canson Ingres but Strathmore is fine. I have a post back months ago on charcoal drawing that describes materials.<br /><br />I like to copy some things in pencil> A small assortment of artist pencils a 2 a hb and whatever else you have is good. I have to confess I am perfectly happy with an ordinary #2 with an eraser like you used in school.<br /><br />I like the Aquabee deluxe drawing pads but everybody has their own favorites and I use those simply because I always have, and I bought a pile of them years ago.

I want to practice some drawing - thought I'd work on some of the images from Vanderpoel's book. What kind of paper, pencils (or graphite? or charcoal? or conte?) would you all recommend, and what kind of paper?<br />I tried finding toned paper at our local art supply store, but the only toned paper was for pastel, and it seemed to me to have too rough a finish for drawing.<br />And lastly, how large would you work? <br />Yes, I am such a newbie for this.<br />But we gotta start somewhere.<br /><br /> <br />"bleckin": bad choice for shadow color.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799016923038189074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-25144558288643930822009-06-18T13:33:06.609-04:002009-06-18T13:33:06.609-04:00Wow wow wow!

I appreciated the black and whites in his book for value study, but I was wondering about his color quality, and know I see what a master he was.<br /><br />By the way, I know Hibbard is supposed to be the master painter of snow, but Carlson isn't too shabby himself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579185594957855023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-83838927753085101582009-06-18T10:57:01.826-04:002009-06-18T10:57:01.826-04:00wow, those are just so fabulous.

Carlson has a moodiness and emotive quality that is a far cry from the happy happy<br />sunny landscapes I see mostly these days. His works make you FEEL something.
