This is a drawing on sand plaster, made with black and white pencil crayon. Sand plaster is not an easy surface for drawing. The crayon wears down, settles into crevices, and refuses to be controlled like it would on paper.

I grind paints for my artworks using historical recipes from masters like Rembrandt, da Vinci, and Vermeer. I source pigments from rare locations—ranging from geological expeditions to specialty shops. I thicken linseed oil under the sun according to a 14th-century recipe, which adds depth and durability to my paintings. Despite available technologies, I choose traditional methods to create pieces inspired by the heritage of past masters.
