Ian Shults Portfolio Box

Field Notes, 2022, SOLD

Since I didn't go to art school, charcoal drawing wasn't ruined for me from countless hours of figure drawing and getting yelled at by professors like my artist friends like to tell me. That also means I don't know what I'm doing. So I have a lot of fun trying to figure it out. I see it as a mixture of drawing and painting. I try to make as little actual marks with the charcoal and spread it out with paper sticks trying to convey the same motion and style I do with my painting. I hope you enjoy these candid moments of fictional people having some kind of weird time. 

Sketch Suite comes in handmade engraved clamshell box with museum gloves and artist statement.
