LEONARDO’S WOMAN

It all began with a walk in Birling Gap, which is on the south coast of the UK. As I walked further and further along the chalky shoreline, I discovered that only the most adventurous people were venturing as far as you could walk along. Here, and using the only tool I happened to have at hand, I worked from a Leonardo De Vinci drawing, sketching in the highlights into the chalk as opposed to the shadows.
