Branch and Eggs Drawing

16" x 20" dry pastel, charcoal, and chalk on brown paper.

I did this drawing this past year. A good friend of mine did an oil painting of the same subject at the same time as I did, so we had a lot of fun working on our own pieces. Her painting was absolutely gorgeous, filled with lots of purples and yellows, cool and warm balancing each other so simply. What was most interesting to me is that we were working on the same subject, and even though our mediums were completely different, we were able to represent the subject so truly. That's why art is so beautiful; being able to express the same idea in so many different forms, how two separate visions can be so different and so similar at the same time. It's magic.
