Dip Pen Sketching on the Go

This workshop explores the expressive possibilities of drawing with a dip pen, from precise lines to unpredictable, organic marks. Embracing the dip pen’s natural ink drops and “happy mistakes,” you will learn how to use different nib shapes to create dynamic line weights; how to add watercolor washes to enhance your sketches with rich color and tonal variety; and how to capture urban layers by exploring contrast and line variation — for example, balancing the fluidity of trees with the solid structure of buildings. Whether you’re new to dip pens or looking to refine your technique, this session offers a playful and insightful approach to urban sketching.
