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 how to use drawing tools and concepts to learn proportion, value, tone and mood. In this session, we will work on incorporating more colored ink into our work.

Art has always been a part of her since childhood; she was inspired and encouraged by her mother who is an artist in India. 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.

Her paintings were recently on view at libraries, and have been included in exhibitions at Community Centers and achieved “Honorable Mention Award” in April 2017 for one of her paintings.
