Farmstead - For this series Charles mixed a solution of gesso and coated drawing boards. After the boards were dry, he would draw his images with a pencil onto the rough texture. The images were then printed in black and white (the texture gives the image a "pen and ink" feel) on watercolor paper and are now hand watercolored by his son Ben Beckendorf.

Ben under the tutelage of his father has been watercoloring prints since 1968. This original print is limited to an edition size of 100. The image size is 6 x 9 and the print size is 9.5 x 12.5.

This is a part of the  and the  Collection.
