"Foraging" is a tribute to the quiet yet vibrant life of the Tasmanian pademelon, depicted with colour pencils to capture the subtle textures and hues of this unique marsupial. The scene, set in the landscapes of southwest Tasmania, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of this small but significant creature.
In this piece, the pademelon is portrayed in the midst of its natural behavior, foraging for food. The meticulous strokes of colour pencil bring out the rich, earthy tones of its fur and the delicate interplay of light and shadow in its forest habitat.
Through "Foraging," I seek to inspire a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of the natural world and the necessity of preserving these precious habitats. The colour pencil medium allows for a detailed and textured representation, echoing the intricate and interwoven lives of the creatures within Tasmania's forests. This piece is not just a portrayal but a narrative of existence, persistence, and the subtle yet profound impact of conservation.
The reference image used for this drawing was captured by myself while camping on the west coast of Tasmania.
This print has been created from an original coloured pencil drawing on drafting film (2024).
A2 prints are limited to 30 editions.
