roughness


Feeling a little rough around the edges but still love this work. Another work pulled from my homemade sketchbook hence the odd shape of the page. 

Had this amazing urge to use color again, I know amazing... I was strongly encouraged when I was a much younger artist to pick out the actual colors in my subject matter. That nothing was black or solidly one color to see the beauty in the play between light and dark. Shadows are rarely gray but takes on a darker shade of whatever is around it. 

Details: Color pencil, ink pen on Bristol board.
