Theme & Focus

  • An expressive workshop on illustrating cats using the dry brush technique.
  • Main medium: black ink (calligraphy ink) with optional watercolour washes
    Structure
  • Warm-up exercises: loosen up hand, experiment with brush pressure, strokes, and cat silhouettes.
  • Skill-building: creating lively lines, fur textures, and capturing feline gestures.
  • Final work: progressing to complete cat illustrations, with explorations of personal style (bold/graphic or soft/subtle).
    Why with Calligraphy Ink First
  • Focuses on form, line quality, contrast (without the distraction of colour).
  • Ink’s natural flow/unpredictability brings life to the drawings.
  • Builds confidence in brush handling & mark-making.
    Who It’s For
  • All levels welcome:
  • Beginners curious about ink illustration.
  • Experienced artists wanting to loosen up and experiment.
    Takeaway
  • A collection of lively cat studies.
  • At least one finished piece to take home.
    Materials provided for in-class usage:
  • Calligraphy ink
  • Watercolour paints
  • Watercolour paper
  • Drawing materials
  • Watercolour brushes
  • Water containers and mixing palettes
  • Cat Illustrations for reference and watercolour note
    Remarks:
  • Location is not wheelchair accessible.
  • The studio is home to 3 calm resident cats. If you have allergies or fear of cats, do take this into consideration before booking.
