Water soluble graphite sketches. The speckles are made by shaving a graphite stick with a razor blade creating fine particles over the paper. Then carefully mist with water and they adhere to the paper.

Do you have to buy special graphite for that? This is a pretty piece :)
Yes, it is sold in the art store as water soluble graphite sticks. It is not regular pencil graphite. Thanks.
thanks!
Somehow I don’t think mine would look like yours! Beautiful!
Just having a great time making marks… nothing too serious or time consuming. I love these sketchbooks from the handbook brand that I got from Dick Blick. Thank you, L’Adelaide.
