My goals and intentions for this project was to create a charcoal drawing that has shadows showing the three demensional object.  I used charcoal and white chalk to bring out highlights and shadows.  My painting is about a pumpkin.  The most difficult challenge was that the dark and the light would blend and create a grey all over.  I met that challenge by going over it multiple times.  My painting really works in the stem.  Some things that i have learned is to do white last very last.  The mentor i can name is Mr. G.  I would have made the pumpkin a little bit bigger.  I feel best about my work with the background.
