Drawing on paper

Signed on the front.

This drawing was inspired by the coastal bushes leading to Canal Rocks, which is a typical scenery located along the southwestern coast of Australia.

I used a single sprig from these coastal bushes and and small rock to create the gestural marks and to imprint directly the very textures that make up the environment. Keeping the expression simply to layers of light and shadow, the intention is to focus on the contrasts that highlights vividly the environmental textures that comes from the intense light of a typical cloudless day in Western Australia.

This artwork is part of a "Margaret River" series.
