Description
Draw with incredible detail and precision. But not with a pencil...with a brush!
Drawing with a brush may seem difficult — but once you know some basics, you can get amazingly expressive detail with the right tools and techniques. That’s why so many top illustrators rely on brush and ink. Come learn how in this workshop for beginners and pros alike.
Award-winning illustrator Chris Koehler is an expert at his craft — and he’ll share ink fundamentals, how to create fluid lines, and using brush pens to create intricate art.
Step-by-step, you’ll work through a variety of techniques from linework to shading and ink wash, making a polished work of art as you learn skills that can transform your art.
Gain confidence to draw with a brush, and use ink as a primary or complementary medium in your sketchbook!
