CHARCOAL
PORTRAITS Dianne enjoys adding dimension and her own trademarks to turn her work into a truer form of art. She states, "If you want a photograph, enlarge it. If you want art, change it and enhance it."  As you will see, Dianne will only work from a well defined artistic photograph. Dianne will not do exact replicas of charcoal portraits. She will always add more detail. She refers to this as "ethereal mystery" and enjoys adding this to every piece.
