About Still Life & Technical Studies

When I sit down for a still life study, I am not just drawing a flower or a piece of fruit; I am mapping how light hits a surface to reveal its soul. I rely on high-quality archival paper like Fabriano and consistent layering techniques with professional-grade Staedtler pencils to ensure that the texture—whether it is the translucence of a corn husk or the dew on a lotus petal—remains vibrant and true for years to come.
