Shirish Deshpande
Apart from the oil, acrylic and watercolor medium, I also make fine artworks using my favorite medium of color ballpoint pens. I create full-color effects and full-scale gradation of tone by combining the fine lines within the limited range of colors available using cross-hatching and various other rendering techniques. My subjects encompass Landscapes, Portraits as well as abstract compositions. Moreover, I like to work in both realistic and abstract styles. I have also authored a book about my ballpoint pen techniques titled “Exploring the Ballpoint”.
