    Drawing

      My statement  
    My art communicates my emotion at the time of choosing the subject to draw. The gray scales achieved when drawing with graphite and charcoal are an ideal medium for visually expressing what I feel about a specific subject. Although the genre of my work is realistic, imitating reality is not the primary goal. I want a viewer of my work to get something out of viewing it. I want to stir some sort of memory, emotion or feeling. When the viewer identifies with a work of art then the art is a success.

      Professional history  
    Robert J. Blanchette , Graphite Artist

    Aware of his natural artistic ability and strong desire to draw since his youth, Robert did not make a serious effort in artistic creation until 2006. Artistic training was presented as part of his formal schooling including specific courses at Boston University. This combined with his recent self-study of drawing with graphite and charcoal has been the basis for creating the works viewed in this "On-Line Gallery".
