Étude de Plumes I - Small

21 x 31 | A series of feather drawings that use soft, monochromatic tones and delicate linework to create a calm and balanced composition. The symmetrical layout, with feathers placed on either side and smaller elements in the center, gives a sense of order and harmony, while the textured background adds a natural, handmade quality. The fine lines and shading highlight the intricate structure of the feathers, making them appear light and fragile. The limited colour palette of browns and greys keeps the focus on form and texture rather than colour. This style connects to Naturalism, through its careful observation of organic details, and also to Minimalism, with its simple composition and restrained use of elements. There are also influences from scientific illustration and traditional printmaking, where texture and fine detail are important. These images emphasize balance, detail, and the quiet beauty of natural forms.
