Sweetpea 10 7/8 x 7 5/8

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 background of this piece was created using ink. The plant is outlined with pastel pencil and filled in with ink. It’s sprayed with a protective pastel fixative.
