The set of pictures I’m working on just now consist of: rocks, sand, dried grass, dead bushes, bread, sticks, stone walls, and mud plaster; and characters with olive skin, brown hair or black hair, wearing dull black clothes, haircloth and leather.
Just as well there’s some sea, sky, and a beautiful Phoenician glass jug* to break the monotony a little.
*slightly incongruous in the poverty-stricken setting, but I want to draw it so I’ve decided it’s a family heirloom they couldn’t sell 🙂
