This is a 2-day workshop spanning Saturday, April 12th - Sunday, April 13th; each day's session runs from 11:00AM-2:00PM for a total of 6 hours of class time. All levels welcome.
Discover the timeless art of botanical illustration with a dip pen and natural ink. You'll begin by learning the foundational properties of strokes and pen control, various shading methods, and techniques for adding detail to your work. With these skills in hand, you'll create a botanical still life drawing. As you work, we’ll delve into the world of natural ink — from historical ink recipes to contemporary inks made from garden plants, as well as the unique colors achieved through manipulating pH levels. At the end of the class, you’ll leave with your artwork, studies, and a bottle of handmade ink. Class fee covers all necessary supplies.
