Anatomy of a Wave

"Anatomy of a Wave" is my powerful yet calming representation of a wave.
I layered soft pastels onto sanded paper and blended them with my fingertips. By layering multiple values from dark to light I created the illusion of transparency and depth which draws the viewer’s eyes into the painting. Waves remain my favourite motif: their shape, colour palette and shifting energy always inspires me.
