The first ink painting I created for an art theory I was working on called Neo–Elegance. It depicts a nude winged male angel in profile clutching at the sky inspired by John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost". A precious metal drawing was used as the substructure of the image that was then overlaid with multiple washes of diluted India Ink to build up the shadows and highlights.
