About this work

This sketch shows two flowers drawn in black charcoal. One flower is open wide with long, wavy petals, while the other is a tight bud. The stems and leaves are thin, tangled lines, almost like scribbles. The artist used only charcoal, making the whole piece look like a quick, rough sketch. The flowers stand out against the plain white background. If you like this style, check out scumbling for another way to layer charcoal.
