- Europa and the Bull
I have moved on to charcoal on approx 20×25 inches ingres drawing paper for the Europa series. I like the laid texture of this paper, and I use either Canson or Fabriano. I always use vine charcoal.
I am trying both a passive Europa here, and another version with a more dramatic, terrified Europa. This shows a rather gentle bull with her hand almost caressing the bull’s head. Of course the bull is actually Zeus, so his less ferocious appearance can be explained by this fact.
