About this artwork
When The Artist's Odyssey asked if I would feature I enthusiastically said yes. When they requested a demonstration of me generating the image source for the filming I knew I needed a model that would be comfortable in front of two cameras. Karen hosted her own internet show in Brazil so I knew she would be perfect.

This portrait is a return to the early years of composition… that featured mostly white as the negative space. When you separate the elements of the face the and do not use the perimeter of the head for reference you must place the eyes, nose and mouth precisely or it will not be a recognizable portrait of that individual. It was great to revisit this style with my current technique of application.

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.
