Exploring Pen & Ink Drawing

Course Description

Pen and ink are a versatile alternative to painting, charcoal and pencil, particularly when traveling. In this mini course you will work with a variety of pens and inks. You will learn hatching, stipple, line, brushwork and even unusual techniques like eye lashing, as you work from actual still life set-ups and copying from masters. With ink, lines become all-important, and can help your ability to see, and thus to become a better draftsperson. Whether you are a beginner or advanced artist, individual attention and feedback will be provided to help you reach a new level of understanding of this medium. Students should bring a drawing pad (9x12 or 11x14). All other materials will be provided. (Class will not meet March 17)
