Laurel Branches 9.5 x 7.5

This piece is part of my Sacred Wild collection. The goal of these works is to amplify the inner spiritual energy that I perceive in the subject to make it visible to all. I experimented with different materials to create my own technique which combines pastel brushed with alcohol, bold pastel pencil outlines, and ink. I really like the interesting textures created by combining the wet and dry media. The Laurel tree is outlined with pastel pencil and filled in with ink. It’s sprayed with a protective pastel fixative.
