I’ve been drawing for a few months since returning, and I’ve received positive feedback from friends, family, and social media. My skills with colored pencils have improved a lot. My colored pencil and charcoal works complement my acrylic paintings. I’m currently creating a mixed media drawing with charcoal and pastels on an 18 by 24 inch canvas, which I aim to complete this weekend. I’m also hosting a special giveaway for my newsletter supporters and for my followers on my social media platforms. Just email me at the contact info below to participate.

What’s the special giveaway? It relates to my next drawing, which will be done after my current piece. This drawing will use white charcoal on black canvas paper, making it unique. I will reveal the drawing in this newsletter. The person chosen will receive a one-of-a-kind print for replying with the answer I provide. To join this giveaway, just visit my social media platforms.

UPDATE: 6/17/25~ THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER. THERE WAS NO WINNER. NO ONE HAD REPLIED THROUGH EMAIL FOR THEIR NAME TO BE DRAWN FOR THE ONE OF A KIND PRINT. THE TWIST WAS POSTED ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS: TO STATE WHAT PLATFORM YOU’RE VIEWING ON ALONG WITH THE ANSWER I’VE GIVEN YOU IN THIS BLOG

I want this comeback to be fun and interactive. I appreciate your feedback on my social media and newsletter. My next charcoal drawing will be The NUN, so stay tuned for a twist in the giveaway on my upcoming posts!

Sincerely,

David L
