Colored Ballpoint Painting

 A Portugal based lawyer who does art on the side is Samuel Silva, whose terrifically done colored ink ballpoint works deserve better than to be called drawings... while it seems he limits mostly to an A2 size, yet he does very well in the diversity of subject matter, even as he seems to primarily work from photographs...  
 It is good that there are others who do more than present sketches and simple drawings, instead elevating their rendering to a Fine Art format...

FUGUE - 25

And have JUST finished the main part of the painting...  now, as soon as the ink is dry, will cut the 9 feet from the roll and begin doing the wires and birds, the final bit left...........

FUGUE - 24

 Because of the length of time it took doing these remaining bamboo [and still not quite done], am including these as additional updates...  note the complexity of the thicket of bamboo, which was what took so long to get done - as is seen in the closeup, they are not straight, but wonky, thus needing more care in tracing down their positions from in front, behind, and so forth...  the remaining ones, along with the rest of the lower vegetation, about 9 inches or to a foot, will be worked on sometime Thursday afternoon, and hopefully all will be finally done save the birds and wires...

FUGUE - 23

The next-to-last update on this, as hope to have it finally finished by end of the week...  had hoped to do so last week, but ran out of ink Friday eve, so had to wait until today to get another bottle of F W Black acrylic ink...   for those who not knew from older postings, am using crow quill nibs and a staff - not know just which this one is, as is worn down from the usage, but has served well in getting the fence wood grains and detailing of the plants.....and this is the second nib usedon this, but considering the roughness of the canvas roll and the painting area [3'x8'], am pleased...
