Students will study and draw botanicals in pencil and finish the drawings in pen and ink. 
It is a chance to develop your mark making vocabulary, practicing cross hatching and a variety of different strokes.

  • Paper: sketch book(8”x11” or so), and good quality drawing or watercolor paper pad, smooth texture, 16”x20” or larger.
    Pencil: 2H to 2B regular pencils, sharpener, white eraser, and/or mechanical drafting style pencils.
    Pen + ink: Crowquill pen and small bottle of black India ink, and/or rollerball style pens with dark ink.
    If they have a specific plant they would like to draw, maybe they can bring in a sample of that as well.
