Charcoal Comma Butterfly (2021)Charcoal drawing by Luci Power

Beauty captured in Charcoal. This work is an energetic drawing in charcoal of a young Comma butterfly, delicate, striking and positive, the energy of the marks made by the charcoal adds a liveliness to the potential of the sunning butterfly, and watercolour touches add vibrancy and interest. We feel the positivity of spring when the butterflies emerge and this starts to uplift the spirits as nature wakes up and opens our eyes to it’s wonder. It becomes a moment for slowing down, noticing nature’s details and appreciating the beauty around us.

This series of Charcoal based drawings celebrates and amplifies the beauty amongst local Wildlife and introduces their energy through the materials I use to describe them.
