SUMMARY:Introductions to Pen & Watercolor with Kathleen D'Angelo
DESCRIPTION:Instructor Kathleen D’Angelo  \nClass Dates: (3 sessions\, Tuesday evenings from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM) \n\nOctober 20th\, 2026\nOctober 27th\, 2026\nNovember 3rd\, 2026\n\nClass Time: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM \nLocation: 2nd floor classroom \nAge: 15+ \nCost: $90 \nAll supplies included with registration! \nClick Here to RegisterCLASS DESCRIPTION \nPen drawings are probably the most portable\, convenient and low-cost form of art making there is (with the exception of pencil). All you need is a pen and a piece of paper and you are ready to make art. The final step is to add watercolor for a dynamic result. \nIn this class\, we will focus on what is called mark making. Some people may refer to mark making as line drawing\, but I believe there is a difference between the two terms. Marks are emotional and alive. A series of marks creates texture which can visually be felt. Although a line is part of the mark making process\, a line standing alone is begging for more attention. \nTexturing techniques that will be taught during the class: \n\nContour lines\nParallel lines\nCross hatching\nDots or stippling\nScribble lines\nWavy grain lines\nCriss-cross\n\n*See: Creating Textures in Pen and Ink with Watercolor by Claudia Nice \nIn addition\, transparent watercolor techniques will be demonstrated\, including washes\, glazing\, brushwork (wet-on-wet and dry)\, color mixing\, and special effects (using salt or Saran). \nClass assignments to be completed at your own pace: \n\nCreate a set of pen marks and textures\nCreate a drawing using the seven pen works listed above\nCreate a color wheel\nCreate watercolor mixes on a grid sheet\nCreate a set of watercolor brushwork techniques\nPutting it all together: create a final composed work of art using the pen and watercolor techniques learned in the class.
