      Graphite and pastel chalk mixed-media artwork. The circular patterns were created using stencils: highlights were lifted from the dark areas with an eraser, while graphite was brushed onto the lighter sections. The colored tones were built up from finely scraped pastel dust applied with a brush.

            Edit, this is such a powerful piece. 😊 The emotion comes through immediately, and I really like how you’ve combined graphite with pastel to create something unique. The circular patterns add a strong sense of movement without distracting from the expression, and your explanation of the process is just as interesting as the artwork itself.
            Beautiful work, and thank you for sharing both your art and your techniques with the community. 👏
