In this workshop you will be using flowers, foliage and trees to inspire you to produce some lively artworks in pencil, pen, Indian ink and watercolour wash. We’ll be working from life as well as from picture reference.

You Will Need:

  • Black Indian ink
  • A black drawing pen 0.8mm
  • A pencil
  • A rubber
  • A pad of watercolour paper
  • Mixing palette/tray
  • A nib dip pen (optional)
  • Watercolour paints
  • A large watercolour brush
  • A jam jar
  • A drawing board
  • Low tack masking tape
  • A few natural objects (flowers, foliage etc.)

I will provide picture reference but do bring some if you have something you’d especially like to work on.
