Monk at Work

Picture


Monk at Work (circa 1300 AD).  I was commissioned to create several illustrations by a publisher client depicting medieval life. I was given some artistic freedom so I created a few illustrations within this commission to show everyday monastic life.  This is one of those pieces.
Working with Pen & Ink allows for a lot of diversity with regards to composing, using light, and mimicking textures. Although simple at first glance, there is still a lot being stated in this illustration.

Painting Specifications:
  Medium:
 Black ink
  Size: 6.5w x 8.0h-inches
  Surface: Illustration Parchment
  Completed:  2017
