455-Watercolor with Pen & Ink

In this fun and relaxed workshop, we combine watercolor painting with pen and ink. Using different objects, photos and still life, you will learn how to use the two different mediums together in your art. Combining the ink line with watercolor will give you extra detail and a more finished look to your art. Students will explore with different kind of ink pens.

Any levels are

Students have to bring their own art materials; please see the material list below in case you need to add something to your supplies, such as ink pens.
