Sir Paul McCartney

This colorful ballpoint pen drawing is of Paul McCartney. The Beatles certainly changed or altered worldwide views of music. Their songs or tunes revolutionized our modern music scene plus brought millions of people to a new place! Altering the world through music, new art mediums or instruments are no easy task. Often decades are involved with such endeavors because people are often slow to except new ideas.***** This impressionistic ink drawing became alive because of my application of line, color, contrast and details. I leave some areas open so my mind can work or play with it. The dark rich colors are many levels or layers stacked atop each other. My details speck fore themselves and the soft transitions are completed with many soft half tone lines.***** Elegance or refinement is achieved with subtle half tone lines while power takes place through stacked layers of dark colors. Lines, colors and half tones produce spectacular drawings, movement, clarity or desired results. Remember, I am not trying to imitate other mediums, instead demonstrating what ballpoint pen oil based inks can do is my goal.***** A fellow artist, Jerry Stith

Hello, Jerry, how are you? Happy Holidays. It amazes me how you do these paintings using ballpoint pen ink. If I were to try this, ink would run and smear all over the place! It's your skill, and you are amazing...
