Rembrandt the Elder

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Jerry Stith the founder of a folk art program called BallPoint Pen Art. This gold and brown multi colored ballpoint pen ink drawing is of Rembrandt the painter. Rembrandt is one of my favorite artist from the past or in history. This ink drawing is really cool because of the dark browns and gold coloring throughout the work. Those colors are very difficult to obtain and represents what an oil based ballpoint pen can do as an art medium. I am dealing with darks and lights as well as his likeness in this picture. Hopefully those viewing in will enjoy this artwork.***** I would like to thank all those that have supported me with their great comments. Your friend and fellow artist, Jerry Stith.

Jerry, I never realized pen and ink could create would you have obtained. What kind of ink are you using? This is oil? And when you describe pen - are you using the traditional nibs or is like a marker? Very cool and it seems like an innovative technique you have working for you. Thanks for sharing. jax chachitz
