Charcoal Form Study

Description

Charcoal Form Study depicts a boxing glove in expressive monochrome, with dark charcoal marks defining its rounded form and folded details. The loose, sketch-like treatment gives the subject a sense of weight and movement against the open paper. Its restrained palette and athletic subject make a distinctive addition to a studio, office, or living space.

Artist

Based in Edinburgh, I work in watercolor and charcoal, layering fluid forms, textured marks, and vivid color. From quiet landscapes and wildlife to abstract studies, I explore movement, atmosphere, and the calm found in changing forms.
