About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark blue dress with a wide skirt and a row of buttons down the front. She’s wearing a white hat with a dark band and simple earrings. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand on her hip and the other resting at her side. The dress’s pleats fan out from the waist, giving it a soft, flowing shape. The artist used quick, confident lines to suggest fabric and movement without heavy detail. Next, look up pleating to see how folds like these shape clothes.

Carven

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