Aeneid Fragment by Virgil circa 70-19BC

To achieve the look of mosaic, I found it worked quite well by drawing tile shapes onto the completed paintings.

This was actually done quite some time ago. I wanted to give the appearance of mosaics. To achieve this, I did the paintings then used a very hard (4H I think) pencil and drew on the "tiles".
