Includes wine, bites, and chocolates.About this EventUNORTHODOX WASHES — Session IV: Walnut Ink Studies is the “quiet power” night of the series. Walnut ink is a natural, sepia-toned medium with a gorgeous range—from pale parchment haze to deep antique brown—that instantly gives work a vintage, archival atmosphere. It’s perfect for line-and-wash, studies, sketches, and anything you want to feel timeless.This session balances control and character. You’ll learn how to build values smoothly, combine crisp linework with soft washes, and use walnut ink’s natural staining to create depth without overworking. The vibe is relaxed and social, but the takeaways are real: you’ll leave with techniques you can use in sketchbooks, illustration, and mixed media.What you’ll doCreate a finished walnut-ink piece (or a strong hero study) plus technique sheetsLearn value-building: light-to-dark control without muddyingExplore line + wash methods (brush, pen-style marks, and layered glazing)Practice edge control, lifting highlights, and atmospheric washesLeave with repeatable methods that translate to ink wash, drawing, and book-art style studiesWhat to expectA weeknight-friendly paint-n-sip style studio session with guided instructionWalk-around coaching and technique help throughoutTime to experiment, but with enough structure to keep your piece moving forwardWork that looks “found” in the best way—like an old field sketch, a map, or a page from an archiveWhat’s includedAll materials and supplies (paper, brushes, palettes, walnut ink media, and specialty tools)Guided instruction + hands-on helpWine, light hors d’oeuvres, and Romolo’s chocolatesA finished piece (or close to it) plus technique notes you can keep usingWho it’s forBeginners are welcome.
