Mumtaz Mahal (2018)
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal (Arjumand Banu). English poet Sir Edwin Arnold describes it as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passion of an emperor's love wrought in living stones." The beauty of the monument is also taken as a representation of Mumtaz Mahal's beauty.

Inktober 2018 : Day 30 - ink and water Among the places you may find Isaac: mausoleums. This one was more of a test to show Isaac’s wing shadows bending around a wall, so it’s a bit messy. I might try to work it up into a full painting some other time.

Time to wake up, friend.

I tried some harsher lighting on this one than I usually do. Also spot the splatter where I accidentally shot ink out of my pen!
