Chapter 1 - The Study of Tone

For this chapter of tonal columns, I used a variety of media, including: charcoal, black ink, black Brusho paints, water soluble markers and crayons, black sugar paper (punched for circles), white tissue paper, and a variety of black, grey and off-white images from a glossy magazine, as well as the sides of a whiskey hip flask for a crayon rubbing! :)
The columns were 7 cms wide and the length of an A4 page.
