ARTISTS IN CAPTIVITY

... and their work

James (page 1)

page 2

Stunning work produced entirely with just four different coloured biros

In Susan's words:

"At the start, James was allowed paper and paint. Then a ban was put on them and all he was able to use was ball point pens and envelopes."

Fantastic work and considering the constraints of only having biros to work with, and having to use cheap paper, the subtlety of touch is absolutely amazing.

As can be seen, James does have a preference to drawing birds, either on branches or on the ground.
The leaves on this example are well worth studying. Click the 'thumbnail' to see a larger version.

The final image is a well-executed drawing of a rose.
