Theme

The second series of graphite and charcoal drawings continues the exploration of the human figure, now focusing on landscapes in East Asian ink-wash style – serene, minimal, meditative.

Description

Landscapes are reduced to their essential elements: a pine tree on a rocky shore, islands in morning mist, mountains behind silence. The graphite technique mimics the qualities of sumi-e ink painting.

Materials

Graphite pencil and charcoal on high-quality drawing paper, with emphasis on tonal gradation and atmospheric depth.
