About the work
I have recently been working on a series of drawings exploring colour tints and fades, developing different processes using powdered pigment, pastels and wax. This drawing is a study in blending pink through to yellow, concentrating on the space and warm atmosphere this process can create. The powdered colour was dusted on to the paper in layers and then coated with beeswax. The wax soaks through the paper and blends the colour giving the drawing a translucent shine.
