The Power of the Pen part2

A sublime portrait executed with speed,precision and economy by Montmartre artist Majid. The artist demonstrates that good portraiture is possible even when using simple tools (in this case a ball point pen) This is a superb portrait because everything superfluous has been eliminated.The end product is sensitive, pure and elemental.A fine drawing by a fine draughtsman.

A great artist

[@DavyLimvideos]

Indeed so.So far Majid and you are the only artists who have dared to use ink media at Montmartre!

Très beau, bon artiste !

I love pen drawings with ink. It's always a challenge. 1 mistake and you cannot remove it. Must be perfect in 1 gow

I also love drawing with pen ...i love Anderson Zorn etchings

[@DavyLimvideos]

We can all learn from that great Swedish artist.You must of course have used the Zorn palette for colour work.Keeping things simple is so important whatever medium you use.

Being left handed myself, I really enjoyed watching this. He did such a good job. Its funny that being left handed when ever I used ballpoint I would always end up smearing. He has definitely mastered it. As always a excellent narrative Mr Lim.

[@DavyLimvideos]

Brian,that is a very interesting point you have made.We write from left to right,and tend to draw left to right too,using the palm as an anchor or place of rest,so there must be inherent difficulties for left handed artists, especially when drawing portraits in pastel,for example.There is probably less risk of smearing when using markers or ball points.The artist here is always so at ease that I never really noticed he was left-handed!But you are in good company: Michelangelo, Raphael, Durer, Lautrec and Lucien Freud were all left-handed.
