Ascent Into Silence
About this artwork
The pastel is applied by first crumbling it onto the paper in small amounts, and then smoothing it across the surface by hand. The mountain area formed of ink is made using a dip pen with fine nib, and the fine marks in the graphite section utilise a technical pencil.
With this image I found my mind drifting toward the high places of the Cairngorms, with their smoothed edges, summits, and pleateau.
