Carlos Felipe León, Chocoramo, Ink, Marker, and Pencil on Paper, 6 X 6 1/2"

Ink, Marker, and Pencil on Paper

This wonderful sketch is a monument to Chocoramo, Carlos' beloved snack of his native Colombia. An early and bold foray into sketch markers, this drawing is the first of what will be a series devoted to the delectable snack.

Of the rust red hue of this and other drawings Carlos has said that restricting his color palette was a deliberate move inspired by the hues of some of the earliest markings, which employed limited colors - the blacks of charcoals and the red rust of clays.
