Draw by Drawing

Here is a screen shot of our last Draw by Drawing session where we drew dried plants using a traditional pen holder with nib and ink.

This session of Draw by Drawing will involve creating a “fantastical garden” using brush and ink and collage. You will get to use your imagination as you build a garden from collage shapes created from brushwork on paper.

Materials needed: 11 x 14″ sketchbook (or larger paper), black ink, bamboo brush (medium size), bowl-point drawing nib, plastic pen holder, white conte crayon (or white chalk pastel), glue stick and scissors. Also: paper towels, two or three containers with water (to make washes of different values).

Draw by Drawing is a weekly on-line drawing session. Each week will have a specific theme or project. Please note this is not a step-by-step drawing instruction session. It is an opportunity for a group of like-minded individuals to draw together. The facilitator, Wendy Welch, will present a drawing “prompt” each week which will alternate from representational to abstract drawing projects.

The theme and materials will be announced on the Tuesday before the Monday session. You need to register in advance (prior to 4pm of the day of the session) and once you have made your payment, you will receive a Zoom invite on Monday (the day of the session) between 4-5pm.
