Artist's Comments

Micron pen on handmade paper. I made the paper out of abaca with seashell, mica flake, and sea grass inclusions. Size is roughly 8x10.

The drawing is a piece of coral found at a MD beach. It is about 1 inch by 3/4 of an inch. This drawing, like all my drawings, was done from observation.

This is another in a series I am working on for my solo show in the fall.

Feedback is greatly appreciated...right now I am contemplating adding an ink wash in the background in the same fashion as my other drawings. I'm not really sure of the ink wash...

Grace, this one -- just like the others -- just shows how much skill you have. Ever since I tried the stippling, I even appreciate your work more. I like the depth you accomplish with your stipplling. About the inkwash... WHile looking at your other works, I was thinking that the inkwash adds to the quality and beauty of your work. I would go for it :D

Awesome work... And good luck with your show!

Hooray! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! About the ink wash, I actually had a review where everyone said they didn't like the ink wash. I like it, and I know other people like it so I was very confused...

:butterflytwo:Thanks again for your amazing support!:butterflytwo:

I'm always in awe of how detailed your work is, this is a lovely depiction.
