A charcoal and graphite study of the Grand Canyon's layered wall, drawn from Mather Point. Deep tonal shading builds the terraces one above another, giving the rock a sculpted sense of depth. Kept essentially monochrome, soft grey transitions carry light and shadow across the canyon face, capturing its vast, quiet stillness in rich, muted detail.
