The Art of Ink: Line, Light & Shadow

In this one-day workshop, we’ll explore the expressive potential of pen and ink drawing. In the morning, participants will learn foundational techniques for using pen to create both line and tone, focusing on mark-making, hatching, and crosshatching to build depth and texture. Through guided exercises, you'll develop confidence with this versatile and bold medium. In the afternoon, we’ll apply these techniques to a variety of subjects—people, places, and everyday objects—working both with and without ink washes to explore contrast, mood, and composition. This workshop is ideal for artists of all levels who want to loosen up their drawing style, explore dynamic techniques, and sharpen their observational skills.
