A40225 Pen and Ink, Etc., Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Instructor: William Reynolds
Skill level: ALL

Explore the nuances of drawing with a variety of steel pen nibs, felt tip pens, brushes and other media on white paper using stippling and cross-hatching to build tonal variations. Scratchboard (white lines scratched on a black surface) as well as other black and white line media (i.e. etching) related to pen and ink will be shown and may be offered as options. Adding watercolor to our pen and ink drawings will be explored in detail. Many demonstrations. Bring drawing pencils, eraser, and a small drawing pad to the first class - the instructor will provide the rest. You can decide what else to buy after the first class. You may choose drawing tools which go well beyond traditional nibs and India ink. Subject matter for the first class will be provided; for remaining sessions, bring photos or other subject matter to work from. Having some drawing experience will be an asset, but the lessons are designed to be accessible to beginning drawing students too.

Begin or refresh your drawing practice with a new subject each week and different media to experiment with along the way. We'll work from objects and still life set-ups as well as landscape imagery and an excursion into the figure, with class discussions and individual attention to focus your artistic development.
