Graphite drawing of a rose bloom with layered petals, soft shading, and darker textured areas emphasizing the folds and surfaces of the flower.

Medium: Graphite on paper
Size: 8.5 x 11 inches

This graphite rose was completed in September 2018 as a texture study. I was working on capturing the layered surfaces of the petals, especially the way light and shadow move across each fold.
