A charcoal drawing pinned to a white wall with clear pushpins. A teapot with a short spout on the left sits against a heavily smudged dark background, its open lid swung up and back on a hinge at the upper right. The teapot and lid are left as pale, streaky paper where the charcoal was lifted or left out. Below the drawing, a small white card reads "Introduction to Drawing, with Tina Oehmsen-Clark". Edges of other charcoal drawings show above and to the right.

A vintage chrome clothes iron with a black handle stands upright on its heel on top of a tan shoebox with a black "MAG creative footwear" band. The box sits on a paint-spattered stool in an art studio with worn wooden floorboards. A table draped in purple cloth with an upturned stool on top is behind it, and wooden easels and stools fill the background.

A charcoal drawing on white paper clipped to a paint-spattered wooden easel. Four studies of the upright iron are arranged in a loose grid, each drawn by shading the dark space around and inside it: blocky outlines with smudged grey sides, a narrow dark slot where the gap in the handle is. Two long horizontal lines run across the upper half of the page.

A charcoal drawing on white paper held by a yellow clip and a metal bulldog clip on a paint-spattered wooden easel. Dark charcoal fills a squarish block in the lower two-thirds of the page, leaving the splayed legs and crossbar of an upturned stool as white paper in the shape of an H. Easels, stools, and a purple-draped table are visible in the studio behind.

An earlier state of the teapot drawing, clipped to the easel with a yellow clip and a black clip at the top edge. The teapot's open mouth, spout, and pale body sit against dense, scrubbed dark charcoal, with the open lid above on its hinge at the upper right. The background is rougher and less even than in the finished version.
