Pen & Ink with Barbara Van Dell Robinson

Discover the beauty and versatility of pen and ink drawing with renowned local artist Barbara Van Dell Robinson. In this hands-on workshop, Barbara will introduce students to a variety of fundamental pen and ink techniques through demonstrations and guided practice.

Students will work from reference images provided by the instructor and learn how different line qualities, textures, and shading methods can bring a drawing to life. After experimenting with several techniques, each participant will create a small finished artwork to take home.

While some basic drawing experience is helpful, it is not required. Barbara will provide simple subjects and individualized guidance to help students feel comfortable and successful.

• 1 package of Micron fine-point pens (black or colored; .005 size preferred)
• Small Bristol paper drawing pad (9″ x 12″ or smaller), or any smooth-surface drawing paper

What You’ll Take Away:
By the end of class, students will have a greater understanding of pen and ink techniques, increased confidence using the medium, and a completed sketch or small artwork of their own.
