Seashore viewer
BW drawing of young girl 14 looking out at the water and seagulls
Graphite on Cocquille cold press paper …I use Coquille because that is the paper I usually use for my work ..It has a stiple surface so no surprises ..it gives me the soft look I want in my work…graphite from 2H to 9B apply my led in layers from light to dark.22”X30”
I got my education in capturing the movement of water with this piece…easier said than done..It is the first beach piece I’ve done and seagulls
The young girl in this drawing is my daughter Tanya …she has been my model quite a few times…This is one piece I wish I had never sold.

Margaret Harris replied
Hello Elilzabeth….I have pretty well featured in most of my artwork except this one…and I can’t figure out whats wrong with it ?? Maybe it’s because she has her back turned to the viewer….This is my daughter when she was about fifteen and I wish I had never sold this one…Thankyou for your interest xx

My favorite pencil of yours so far. Love every fabulously drawn detail, including the rolled up shorts.

Thankyou…this is with out a doubt my favorite piece of work…it’s my daughter Tanya when she was about fourteen and I can’t for the life of me figure out why I sold it. I’ve thought about redoing it but each piece I do has it’s own story and feelings that were there when I did it.
