Field Sketching with Ink and Watercolor
Celebrate Plein Air with Suzie Garner
Suzie will be sharing one of her favorite field journaling activities with this medium, using watercolor and ink on watercolor paper. Demonstrations will include techniques for the sketching, application of watercolor. Sketching and drawing tips for sketching outdoors will be included. Participants will leave with a better understanding of field sketching with pen and ink with watercolor and how to use them in the field.
This is a 2 day event (October 6th and October 7th) and participants need to bring the following items:
Pencil, Waterproof Technical Pen (I like the Faber Castell Pitt Pen Superfine Size), watercolor paper or watercolor sketchbook and small portable set of watercolors.
