About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a deep V-neck and short sleeves. The dress has a fitted waist and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. She’s wearing low-heeled shoes and her hair is pulled back neatly. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same dress, showing its shape from the front. The dress looks like it’s made of a textured fabric, maybe with a subtle pattern. The artist used loose, confident lines to draw the figure and the dress. Check out lace for more ideas on how fabric texture can change a simple dress.

Carven

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