Instructor: Andres Salazar
Time: 6-8:30pm
Adults
Fees: $145.
supplies not included
Classes are held in Vita Art Studios, studio #15 (50 West Main Street). Before the first class you will receive an entry code to the front door.
Explore the art of pen and ink through hands-on projects that build confidence and skill. Students begin with essential tools and classic techniques—hatching, cross-hatching, pointillism, and expressive line work—before moving into structured drawings from life and photo reference.
Along the way, you’ll learn composition, shape-building, shading, and how to add depth with optional washes or color accents.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of finished ink drawings and a strong foundation in illustrative pen and ink techniques.
CLASS SUPPLIES:
Paper - mixed media, bristol, vellum, or something that is at least 96 lb weight. 9x11 or 11x14 , brands don't matter, Canson is a common one.
Ink - waterproof - Higgins would be fine. My favorite is Dr Ph Martin's Black Star
White acrylic paint - this can be Pro White, or normal acrylic paint
Brushes - small watercolor/inking type of round brushes sizes 1,2,4 in that range. Also perhaps a flat brush. They can be cheap or get fancy and get real sable
Micron Pens - These are tech pens, doesn't have to be Microns, but that's the popular brand now. Sizes of any tech pen brand 0.1, 0.3, 0.5
Crowquill pens & nibs Speedball makes a good set.
cheap plastic water/brush holder (I'm assuming you have things like this) and paper towels.
