Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing

Women in the Garden, Pierre-Auguste Renoir

The Extraordinary Charcoal and Pencil Art of  Joel Daniel Phillips

“The only way to truly understand something is to draw it.”      –Jean Le Corbusier  

This is the center of my work—an attempt to sincerely grasp what I see around me through the tip of a pencil and a piece of charcoal. At its root, the act of drawing necessitates a concentrated study of not only the physical attributes of the subject, but the emotional as well. Every line and crease in a face tells a story, and rendering these requires the artist to touch and explore each facet of the subject’s existence.
