Original artwork description:
I love the spontaneity and raw beauty that charcoal and graphite can capture, especially in portraits.
This lady from the North Eastern hills of India stands in part shade, and light plays its game of shadows with her. Her expression is clouded over, very like the ‘abode of clouds - Meghalaya’ where she hails from. The variances in delicacy of texture from skin to wool to lace, make this photorealistic charcoal and graphite drawing truly come alive.
It was a delightful challenge to capture the textural contrasts in a true photorealistic style and I often feel it would have been easier to hand sew a sweater rather than paint one.
This drawing has received the Mumbai City Award for Drawing at the Kalanand Art Contest 2018
