This is a sequence of the large prominence on the NW limb. I was so mesmerized by it that I wish I could have spent the entire day observing it. If you look closely, you can see a prancing Arabian horse in the prominence.
I used black Strathmore Artagain paper with a combination of white Conte’ pencil for the brighter, more dramatic areas and white Prang pencil for the fainter, whispy areas. I softened the black background in Photoshop to try and erase the splotchiness of the black paper as it took away from the faintest sections of the prominences.

Erika,
I did not see the prancing horse until you mentioned it. Beautiful sequence. Small wonder you wanted to stay with this all day.

Erika,
I really enjoy your sketches of the sun. This is an object that is so extremely fascinating, and you capture its uniqueness excellently.
