Human Spirit - a Neo-Elegance Ink painting of a nude woman
Saturday, January 5, 2008 by Benjamin Bader
Another ink painting from the theory of Neo-Elegance. This piece was inspired by the description for the sculpture in 'The Stoddard Temple of The Human Spirit' from Ayn Rand's novel, "The Fountainhead". The dimensions of the canvas follow the golden ratio (1:1.618) and the curls of her hair are made using golden spirals. Many of her proportions also match the golden ratio. 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.
