Watercolour pencil on watercolour paper, 21 x 29.5cm, (unframed, from the artist’s sketchbook)
Rebecca Harper’s figurative images are rooted in drawing from observation whether it be from life, borrowed source material, or old photographs found in her family archive. Her subjects and their surroundings take on a dreamlike quality through Rebecca’s distinctive glowing palette and use of translucent layering. Whether working on canvas or paper, the resulting pictures are inhabited by characters that appear both languid and restless; seemingly stopped in time, like snapshots of memories.
This drawing, taken from the artist’s sketchbook, is one of several new studies of the female figure; water is also a constant theme running through her practice. This growing body of work explores a new area of interest for the artist - the mythical world of mermaids and selkies.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
