Memorial Portrait of Mr. Cohen - a Neo-Elegance Ink portrait painting
Saturday, April 7, 2007 by Benjamin Bader
A friend of mine commissioned me to paint a portrait of his father after he passed away. Since I was working on developing the Neo-Elegance art theory at the time, I rendered the image in the same style. 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. This piece expands on the incorporation of an underlying precious metal drawing using copper and pewter along with the silverpoint used in other images.
Materials Used: Silverpoint, India Ink, and White Ink on Stretched Muslin
Dimensions: 23" x 34"
Year Created: 2007
