Graphite, and other drawing mediums
Esther feels that pencil, conte and charcoal lend an automatic rustic quality to her western themes. Bringing the drawing into the black and gray realm of values also brings out the essentials of the subject. It isn't so much about what the subject looks like, as what it does and how it is used. Think about the experience of what using the items means. It's about dirt, and sweat, metal, leather, wood...evoking the smell of a barn, the heat of a dry range, dampness and green of a watering hole, the waiting sense of a storm about to hit.
