Paint Tubes - Nasturtiums

Graphite on White Paper Framed 46 x 36 cm 18 x 14inches

£450

Now this is the composition that I chose for the first Paint Tube Collection painting. Even though the subject is filled with colour, seeing a study takes on its own stature articulated in monochrome graphite pencils. I am very fond of working like this, with few resources for light lines, soft dark areas of shadow, contrasty empty areas against more complicated drawing

There is a simplicity in the small number of ‘things’ I need. They can be picked up and put down without masses of clearing up. I wonder if this freedom is evident?
