About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing black dress with a floral pattern on the bodice. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek updo, and she wears simple jewelry. The dress has a train that sweeps the ground, and her arms are relaxed at her sides. The drawing looks loose and quick, with some areas shaded lightly. There’s also a small sketch of a vase tied with a bow in the corner. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.

Carven

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
