About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress. The dress has thin straps, a fitted bodice, and a flared skirt dotted with small black marks. Her hair is pulled up, and she wears a pair of pointed heels. In the corner, there’s a quick outline of the dress from the back. The black dots on the skirt look like they might be made by a technique called stippling. It’s a way to add texture with tiny dots instead of solid colors. Want to see how stippling works up close? Look up *stippling*.

Carven

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