Botanical Art in Pen and Ink: Desert Lupine

Botanical Art in Pen & Ink: Desert Lupin with artist/illustrator Adela Antoinette

**Beginner to Intermediate Level**

This class is a great introduction to pen & ink techniques using botany as our main subject. The specific theme for this class: Desert Lupin! We will explore line contour, a variety of pen strokes and positive & negative space. These tools and techniques explored will be beneficial to creating our official project of the class, which will be a final ink drawing of Desert Lupin.

Main Concepts:

• Line weights/widths
• Variety of pen strokes
• Subject-positive and negative space
• Line contour and control, hand and eye coordination

 Tools Needed:

• Pencils and erasers
• Pens (At least two sizes if possible- Micro or Copic | Ball point pens + Sharpies are okay too)
• Paper (Illustration board, mixed media paper, or even printer paper will do.)
• Watercolor paper (90lb-140lb hot or cold press)
• Photo of Desert Lupin (A few photos will be sent out the week of class)
