Pen & Ink – NEW!
Tutor: Claire Harrison
Each week Claire will demonstrate various techniques on how to use pen, ink and wash. Techniques will include tone and depth and creating washes in both ink and watercolour. Claire has a relaxed approach to her sessions and will share her knowledge of the medium as well as using it as a tool to explore the boundaries of drawing. This course is for all abilities and each student is able to choose what subject they wish to work from.
