Paint Tubes - Poppies drawing
Graphite on white paper 81 x 51cm 32 x 20inches
£450
Before I make a painting I like to explore the composition pretty thoroughly. One of the ways I do this is by making a finished sight-size drawing in Graphite, maybe . This is just one such piece. As I neared completing it I looked at the drawing and ‘made it work’ as a finished composition. The addition of Piere Noire pencils which are a slightly waxy charcoal, give a really good and velvety black. The poppies are a delight to work with. Elegantly and simply framed in a deep silver grey moulding with a pencil like sheen it makes a beautiful contemporary statement that fits beautifully into a modern style interior.
