The pointed, flexible nib is a marvelous tool, capable of producing a multitude of expressive strokes from whisper thin hairlines to dramatic, bold shades.

What fun to explore these unique qualities as we play with fun and creative pen illustrations.

In this class, we will learn basic strokes of the pointed pen, which we will use to create wonderful borders, single cartouches, floral decoration, and illustrative ornament. We will incorporate color by using watercolor, gouache, or metallic paint to add another dimension to our penwork.
