About this Event

Pen Ink: Journalling with a Brush pen

WHAT?

Brushes create incredibly expressive art. By simply varying your pressure, you can transition from super-thin lines to bold, broad strokes—achieving a unique look that standard pens cannot match. Modern brush pens pack this creative power into a portable tool, making them perfect for journaling at your favorite cafe.

In this class, you will learn to master line weights by drawing inspiration from your own life—whether it is a beloved pet, a childhood toy, or your family members. We will explore multiple illustrative styles, from stylized cartooning to realism, alongside colored ink techniques. Because words complete a journal, you will also pick up essential brush calligraphy skills. By the end of the course, you will be able to beautifully pair your illustrations with personal stories and notes.
