About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The top is brown with a square neckline and short puffed sleeves, while the skirt is light and sheer with tiny dots scattered across it. She stands with one hand on her hip, looking straight ahead. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the shape of the dress and her pose. The dots on the skirt look like they might be embroidery or a pattern. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.

Carven

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