Pastel artwork: pieces of amber on grey sand
Pastel drawing: volume modelled by blending, a grainy edge to every patch, natural muted colour.
Pieces of amber lie on wet grey sand and the light goes through them honey deep. The broken faces are smooth and glossy while the outside keeps a rough crust. The sand around them ripples in small waves and shadows.
