Snow (2025) Original Ink Drawing by Mark Thirlwell

This is a fine ink pen and graphite drawing on A4, 300gsm Aquafine paper. ‘Snow’ depicts a quiet winter landscape rendered with controlled linework and subtle tonal gradation. The composition centres on a stand of bare Birch trees emerging from softly textured snowfall, with delicate mark‑making used to suggest drifting flurries and atmospheric depth. Graphite shading establishes recession and weight, while the ink line provides crisp structural definition. The piece balances observational detail with a restrained, minimal winter palette, creating a calm, contemplative study of seasonal stillness.
