Pen & Wash
Tutor: Debbie Hinks
Explore tone, light, pattern & decoration
Use this technique to explore tone, light, pattern and decoration. On this course you will learn how to draw with an ink pen and combine this with a watercolour wash using landscape, still life or the human figure as your starting point. By the end of the course you will have developed both technical confidence and creative expression in the medium. Debbie’s tuition addresses individual needs so complete beginners and the more experienced are welcome.
