Charcoal drawings of animal life at night. This post contains some of the works of French / Finnish Artist Ariane Relander. She produces different types of animal art. The ones I have chosen for your Monday page, are the nocturnal goings on, of animals in nature. Looking at the illustrations, I get the feeling of the forest at night and the absence of sound making any little noise amplified in its surroundings. Sketches that hint at the animal's form. Realistic detailing is swapped for silhouettes, which move quietly though the night and experience nature in a totally different way than when it's flooded in daylight. Ps. I gave the images some titles. Nighttime bear and flowers. Press the Image to Enlarge it. Nighttime deer and fawn. Press the Image to Enlarge it. Nighttime black swan. Press the Image to Enlarge it.

When you hear charcoal, you tend to think that the result of using this medium to create a work of art would not be that appealing. But this illusion will only last till you actually cast your eyes on a charcoal drawing and your presumption will be fully overturned. This is because charcoal drawings have a depth and appeal that goes beyond just the color and it can sometimes have even more dimensions than art that is created with the use of several colors. You just have to look at these beautiful examples of charcoal painting to know what we mean. We are sure that those who are into chalk pastel techniques and want to learn how to use it have examined charcoal drawings and borrowed heavily from it.

Have you ever wandered through a store and thought, I could do that myself? Well, there are some truly creative people who took this emotion to heart and started making something. And through the magic of the internet, they are able to share these things with the world.
"Art: It has to be honest. It has to be in its own time. And it must have to come from a spark." Phil Lear Even with the narrow focus this oblong slice of a face provides, we know it is Marilyn.
