Online Pen & Ink Workshop

We are thrilled to offer our another pen & ink workshop with the amazing Maja Sereda!

Online: Nature in Pen & Ink
Adults and Teens 16+
Maja Sereda

Thursdays 1:30pm – 4pm (Pacific Time)

June 18 – July 23

6 week course - $200 All levels welcome

If you’ve been yearning to pick up a pen, but have found yourself a little intimidated by the fact that it doesn’t erase, then this is the course for you! Maja will show you basic steps, demonstrate variety of pen techniques and encourage you along the way to make your creative experience smoother. In this course you’ll learn to observe & draw textures, strengthen your understanding of form and discover how to create tonal values through mark making while drawing nature's forms: eyes, birds, flowers, leaves, trees, animals and more. Create your first pen masterpieces in a sketchbook and/or on individual sheets of paper!

HOW IT WORKS:

Each week I will send out an email with an invitation to Zoom, along with some reference images for you to work from. I will show you examples of artworks, a video on how to create that day’s exercise and then we sit and draw together. Of course you are welcome to draw from your own picture. You can email me images of your artwork so that I can give you feedback and advice where needed. I’m happy to do a live review of everyone’s work. We can learn a lot from one another.

WHAT YOU NEED:

A sketchbook (for wet media) and/or paper for wet media such as Paper for pens or Bristol paper for pens. Nice to have: Tracing paper is fantastic to practice on.

Pens: Copic or Micron pens - 0.3, 0.5 (optional 0.1 for very thin line, 0.8 for thick lines), color ball point pen such as Zebra F301. Brush pen is optional.

Other: pencil, eraser, sharpener.

BONUS: By signing up for any of my classes, you get invited to a private Facebook group where you can find more inspiration, more instructional videos as well as art community support. This group is only for my students. A safe space for sharing and feedback.

There is a $35 cancellation fee. No refunds for cancellations received less than two weeks before the day of the workshop.
