All my illustrations are highly precise, especially when drawn with a technical pen. For once though, way back in my Byzantine period, I experimented with brush drawing, a wide "art" point, and watercolor to make a more impressionistic image of the character Heliodorus and his environment. You can see studies of the character in different positions, as well as the cypress trees which are so typical of the Mediterranean area. I don't think I've ever done this type of illustration again.
