This was an Atelier exercise to do a piece of art for the word 'Vessel'.

Vessel, Charcoal on Toned Paper, 18 x 24"

For those familiar with russian folk-lore, yes, this is an image of Baba Yaga. The word vessel has multiple meanings, including something that flies and something that travels over water.  Baba Yaga flies in a  mortar & pestle and lives in a hut that walks on chicken legs - which ties in nicely to the word vessel. This was my first attempt at illustrating something using charcoal pencils on toned paper.
