This three day workshop will look at how to incorporate Pen and Ink in a dynamic watercolor painting. Day one begins with looking at the different pen strokes and the ways pen techniques are used in a painting, then applying that to a piece to be completed with watercolor. On days two and three you will explore textures and pen and ink in a more freestyle way. You will create your own small watercolor journal to use with our pen and ink techniques, and Anji will demonstrate some tips and tricks on how to prepare a journal for future paintings.
