Learn about the different ways to create form and texture with pen & ink and ink wash. This class will explore using ink via black Sakura brand micron ink pens and using black India Ink with crow quill/dip pens (like the days before modern pens) and with the Indian Ink with watercolor brushes to create gradients and form with gray scale. With the micron pens and crow quill/dip pens with ink we will practice different mark making techniques such as stipple, cross hatching and thick & thin parallel lines to create texture and form. Combining ink wash and ink line will also be practiced.
No experience necessary! Tricia Cassady will be teaching and guiding through art exercises.
