In this beginner-friendly workshop, join artist Elisabeth Ridenour to explore ink drawing as both a technique and a meditative practice. No drawing experience is required, as you’ll work from provided small studies sketches to focus purely on ink techniques. Using hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, scribbling, and contour lines, you’ll learn to build texture, value, and volume. We’ll also use ink washes to create gradients and depth. All materials will be provided. Each participant will receive a sketch, five small studies, and numerous ink practice sheets. Work on as many as you wish during class and take the rest home with you.
