![Wells takes a picture of junior Destiny Jackson to use as her reference picture for the artwork. “I told her to look like a model and she did [that pose] and it looked good,” Wells said. “I liked the hands. It keeps the composition really interesting.”](https://kerronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/C-Jamie-Taking-Pic-602x900.jpg)
Always experimenting with different medium, junior Jamie W. decided to challenge herself by using charcoal to create a serious artwork in a short amount of time.
“It was a learning experience using charcoal in this drawing,” Jamie W. said. “My inspiration was an artist named David Jon Kassan. I love his artwork. He uses toned paper with white and black charcoal and I never done that before so I wanted to try it out. It’s really fun.”
She used junior Destiny J. as her model for her piece.
“[Destiny] has an interesting face and she’s a really great friend so I wanted to draw her,” Jamie W. said. “I hope to enter it into a competition one day, maybe.”
