Working with pen in a classical approach can be challenging since ink can't be erased nor moved for creating shapes. Pens however are an easy and accessible medium for small sketches during travels, coffee shop times and maybe while waiting in a bank! In this workshop I am going to teach artists to utilize pen as a go to medium creating academic style drawing in small sizes. These sketches can include a variety of objects from portraits to landscapes, and interiors, becoming a study source for bigger projects or visual notes. Students will learn how to make proper decisions going into each step of the drawing and how to avoid mistakes to create a balanced drawing in terms of values and proportions. This will give opportunities to create works of art in situations less seem probable and makes it is also an easy medium for artists to have in hand.
