Ballpoint Pen Drawing

Adult Classes | Available

Many students are intimidated by the prospect of using ink for drawing, as the misconception is that ink is permanent, and difficult to correct. Not so! Learn the incredible versatility of the ballpoint pen and how much fun it is to create in this often-overlooked drawing medium. If drawing in pencil is your thing, you will LOVE drawing with a ballpoint pen. This course will highlight the ballpoint pen as an advanced drawing tool, and show students the finer techniques to achieve just as much from a single ballpoint pen, as they can from a variety of pencils! Ballpoint pen can be used as a sophisticated drawing tool to create significant quality illustrations, and this course will teach students how. Each student will be expected to spend the time working on his or her own ballpoint pen drawings, and being creative. The classroom setting will be light, focusing mainly on getting the most of each student’s individual abilities and talents.
