About this Event

In this two day workshop you can enjoy the fun of sketching with ink and watercolor — a technique that encompasses the visual appeal of both drawing and painting. The class will include choosing a subject, creating a composition, taking both a methodical and loose approach, line quality, paint handling, and the fundamentals of linear perspective. (These techniques are also useful for “urban sketching” on location.) The class will include demonstration by the instructor as well as individual instruction at each students level of ability. Dates are November 15 & 22.

Pencils, 2H & HB

Kneaded eraser (or white “plastic” eraser)

Pigment liners (Pigma Micron or similar), sizes 01, 03 and 05 or similar

Alternately, a fountain pen that can be filled from bottled ink (some suggestions: Twsbi Eco or Lamy Safari pens with a fine or medium point); and waterproof ink, (some examples: De Atramentis Document Ink or Noodler’s Black). These can be ordered online. (Sources: www.gouletpens.com, www.jetpens.com)
