Description
Personal card art depicting the late virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin in action. Uh... not a very accurate likeness... but I'll just pretend there's more to conveying a person's essence than just technical accuracy.

I have no idea why the lower part of the picture came out so light. Also... I know it looks like I used different colours, but it's all just black ink. Apparently, when you dilute black fountain pen ink with water... really bizarre things happen.

[The rectangle you see around the picture was where I was going to crop and frame it. A friend convinced me that the raw wood strokes worked better as a natural frame. Thanks!]

Size: approximately 22cm x 15.5 cm.

Materials:
Quink fountain pen ink (black): diluted + neat (initial sketch done with *very* diluted ink)
Chopstick: one (sharpened)
Pieces of wood: two (leftover material from my Brandenburg gate wooden model)

[no, there's no need to start a collection to buy me real brushes. I *have* brushes. I just like using wood more]
