Wall Painting in a Restaurant
Yesterday I had a lunch with my wife in a restaurant, Metro Mix, in Pune. The walls of Metro Mix are adorned with some very pretty Mario Miranda style illustrations. While I was sitting there waiting for my food, I drew out this wall using ball pens. Total drawing time 10 mins.
Last few days, I had the opportunity to interact with, and learn from the great ball point pen artist, Shirish Deshpande. Till I saw his profile on Facebook, I had never imagined that such works of art can be created using the humble ball point pens available in the next door stationary shop.
I recently got a chance to learn the art and technique of creating a painting using ball point pens. The following are 2 sketches done during the course.
This is a beach house copied from a fantasy graphic novel. I did this to get a feel of how ball point pens behave, particularly for lighted and shadow areas.
I did this sketch as part of a practice session during the training course.
