A highly detailed monochrome pen drawing modelled on the softly blooming petals of a rose.

The red ink is particularly striking, having an almost golden shimmer when struck by light from certain angles

This drawing has been painstakingly rendered using stippling, a technique where the image slowly emerges out of the repeated application many thousands of very fine dots with a technical pen over many tens of hours.

This subtle method of drawing imbues the image with an unrivalled delicacy, displaying gentle tonal transitions uncharacteristic of works in pen and works brilliantly for describing the gentle folds of curling petals.

Made using the highest quality inks and paper to ensure many years of viewing enjoyment.
