Pen and Ink - A great place to start the Botanical Art Certificate Program

 

Pen-and-ink techniques are taught through a curriculum of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on exercises. Studies begin with a historical overview of pen and ink followed by a demonstration of the basic techniques and creation of a tone scale with stippling technique and line drawing.  Day 2 exercises include hatch and crosshatch, while illustrating a leaf using these techniques. Day 3 includes texture techniques while selecting a variety of textured subjects and making 3 small drawings. Hours of credit: 15. No prerequisite required.
