Charcoals & Graphite
Drawings -
Garnto's charcoal drawings
and portraits capture
the depth and simplicity
of his subjects. A perfect
medium for portraits,
Garnto's charcoals grace
the walls of both public
and private collections.
Garnto's charcoal
portraits are some
of his most sought
after work. Because
the rendering of his
subject matter has
such photographic
realism, the charcoals
have many times been
mistaken for black & white
photography. Read

take creativity
