Carbon and Graphite
Claire-Erica loves to use different media. Carbon is a medium that came to the for after finding a carbon pencil while on holiday. Often art supply finds in remote places reward her with interesting new things to try.
Using a favourite Hahnemuhle paper to render, many hours are put to carefully executing the character into each portrait. Claire-Erica accepts commissions.
