Event Title
Acute Fluff
Submission Type
Art
Description
I have taken the sight of my cat for granted for many years. This portrait of Fluffy was created to closely study the details of her face so that I would not forget them when separated from her. It was made by layering marks of hard, medium and soft compressed charcoal sticks and charcoal pencils. A variety of erasing and blending tools were also used to soften or sharpen edges. This piece was a challenge to make as charcoal can be a very messy medium. However, this was fitting for the goal to commit her face to memory. Carefully planning out my approach with charcoal has imprinted her likeness into my mind for what I can imagine will be a long time.
