One of my favorite instruments!

>>Created with charcoal and chalk and highlighted with acrylic paint on 2.5x3.5 ACEO gray 500 series Strathmore charcoal paper. About 3 hours.

Special thanks to ~CrystalStocks for the amazing photograph! [link]

-----------------

♥ For every day of 2012, I will be drawing one ACEO sketch card. Every single one will be for sale - ALL proceeds to be donated to charity at the end of 2012.

My charity of choice is a local foundation called Alternatives to Violence, who is currently raising money to build a safehouse. This safehouse will provide a secure shelter to men, women and children who have recently escaped physical and sexual abuse.

With the safehouse, 312 individuals every year will receive crisis intervention, counseling, safety planning, advocacy and shelter.

Together, through art, we can help make a difference.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
If you love this piece and the safehouse project, you can see the card to purchase at Etsy for $11 + shipping: [link]

Chopin,, Beethoven .. and others wud be happy to see this piece..

amazing perspective,, and wonderful capture.The way u chose to make it look older than the ref pic, gives it some antique feel.

i think u shud hav used ruler here, as this is totally geometric, but u still did amazing job with those parallel lines and sharp angles.

i think u missed the dark shaded lines at the very end of the white keys down the card.
that wud ahve give the white keys there individual identity, here t looks as they are very close with no gaps in between...

those white acrylic highlights on black and white keys really adds to the pic.
