Inkwash Drawing

Adult Classes | Available

This fun class is an introduction to learning to create inkwash drawings using pencils, India ink and water. If you enjoy drawing, along with watercolor painting, this class is for you. The inkwash technique is similar to watercolor, but of course, in shades of gray and black, and incorporating pencils. Students will learn how to create a pencil underdrawing, and then use a brush with water and ink to develop layering, in order to add to and enhance the pencils. Students will learn how to use the “tools of the trade” including pencils, watercolor brushes, and of course, India ink.

  • Students are encouraged to bring in any other materials they wish to use as reference or inspiration.
