The ballpoint pen is one of the cheapest and most ubiquitous writing instruments. It is also a versatile drawing tool that can bring much pleasure to urban sketchers of all skill levels. From lush trees and dense vegetation to sharply defined architecture or candid portraits, any subject matter can be artfully rendered with a simple ballpoint pen. In this workshop, students will learn how to build a ballpoint sketch from the ground up, starting with soft contours and gradually adding halftones to create volume and depth. This workshop is ideal for sketchers who value accuracy over speed or are simply looking for an uncomplicated way to make sketches.
Learning goals: Contour and cross contour Halftones and patterns Line pressure control Supply list: Bic ballpoint pen Stillman & Birn sketchbook (provided by instructor; included with registration fee)
