About this artwork
Caelah is a study of texture. It's about paying close attention to details on the skin's surface. The pose and illumination allow the breasts to serve as foreground and background while the ribcage becomes an undulating landscape diving into the shadows. Technical drawing pens (rapidographs) of four different sizes were used to compose the art, working from large to small. The black surface was textured using a cotton swab. No white is added.

Ted Washington is an award-winning American draftsman whose works have been widely exhibited in the United States. He employs stippling techniques in the creation of his realistic portraits and abstractions. What makes Washington's method so unique is that he employs differing point sizes when stippling. Over a ten year period, his compositions changed from being dominated by white to black. His striking pieces are created using pen and India ink on paper.
