Alexandra Klimas’s sketches and drawings are as eloquent as her oil paintings. However, working in charcoal or pencil alone gives them a very unique quality. In the summer, she visits the farms to study her animals, especially the cows in the meadow. Her style of sketching is very quick.
Alexandra: “I like to have my pencil and sketchbook on hand when I am among the cows to observe and get to know the unique personalities of these exquisite animals. As a result, my sketchbooks are full of short pieces of text describing the personalities of each animal. If the wind isn’t too strong in the fields, I take large sheets of drawing paper with me so I can sketch in charcoal.”
