Teal Ribbons and Bronze Thread – Photorealistic Drawing

Highly detailed drawing by Patricia Pearce (American, b. 1948). The base layer of this piece is a collotype, but the ribbons and thread have been drawn on top in painstaking detail. Subtle shading and highlights create a realistic quality, showcasing Pearce’s eye for detail and representation. These ribbons are related to her “Kimono” series and are a recurring theme in her work.
