Sartorial Form Study in Charcoal and Ochre

£24.00

Presented as a mirrored, dual-figure study, this original wash and ink piece investigates structural form through two upright, side-by-side silhouettes. Rapid, overlapping fountain pen strokes outline the linear draping of the garments and gathered hair, where varying nib pressure creates a rhythmic, sketch-like boundary that instils the composition with a light, sartorial energy.

The palette is elegantly restrained, utilising a soft, flesh-toned undertone to fill the exposed skin of the forms, juxtaposed against layered monochromatic washes. The left silhouette features a column of muted slate grey ink mapping a streamlined vest and skirt, while the right form is clad in a deeper, multi-tonal charcoal wash that blooms outward into a flared, structural bell shape.

Deliberately gestural and graphic, the composition highlights the soft bleed where watery pigments interact with the loose, permanent line work. By setting these twin, tinted columns against the expansive clarity of the fine art paper, this original work delivers a fresh, minimalist exploration of symmetry and design-led posture.
