I recently looked up the work of one of our regulars, Abner Cope, because I always like to see what you artists are doing with the supplies you buy at The Loft. Here’s one of Abner’s amazing figure drawings done in charcoal. I love the light and atmosphere in this! You can view more of his work and portraiture on his website here: copegallery.com We’re gonna have to have him come give an artist talk!
