About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing turquoise dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a draped neckline and a wide, flared skirt that touches the floor. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The color turquoise stands out against the plain background. The artist used loose, confident strokes to suggest fabric and movement. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.

Carven

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