Description
Pen and Ink sketching is a great way for the student to train the hand, wrist and arm to practice drawing fundamentals. It involves a series of lines, dots, black and white, cross-hatching, stippling and many more techniques. A good pen and ink artist learns the skills of observation and how to use drawing tools and concepts like proportion, value, tone and mood. While pen and ink is worked mostly in black and white, we will experiment with colored ink to enhance our work.

She is an Interior Designer and worked for over 5 years in the field, specializing in stained glass and landscaping. Nonetheless, her passion for fine arts forced her to pursue a career as a painter.
