Obsidian Rose Collection - Sketch 1: Circa 2016

Elevate your tea - a porcelain cup and saucer set adorned with an original fashion illustration that celebrates the drama and elegance of haute couture. Sketch 1 of a 3 part series. Delicately sketched in fine black ink and accented with hand-painted crimson and shadowy charcoal tones, the artwork captures a stylized fashion figure. The gown she wears is a breathtaking high-fashion creation: an exploding cascade of crimson satin, illustrated in sweeping brushstrokes across the side of the cup and onto the saucer. The silhouette evokes fire and smoke — a dance between elegance and danger.
