BLACK PAPER DRAWINGS

The paper is slightly charcoaly rather than lamp-black, and not quite smooth... 

I like the effect; the oil sticks are difficult to preserve since they are slightly proud and three-dimensional, and never seem quite to dry; but the sensation of creating light from dark and day from night appeals to me.
