Artwork Description:
This piece is a combination of pen and ink, charcole, and acrylic paint. The subject, the dolphins, are pen and ink cut outs. These dolphins were originaly sketches of mine. I pasted the sketch onto matt board and cut them out to place them on the acrylic background. The cut outs help to provide a kind of three-dimensionality. To emphasize the background, I used silver charcole shavings to blend in a look of mist forming up off of the wave.
