Join Dayna Walton of Solstice Handmade for a drawing workshop to explore the basics of botanicals with pen and ink. We will cover some foundational techniques using both a brush pen and fine tipped pen, learn the basics of sketching from life, then apply our new skills to create a finished drawing using provided plants and flowers. This class is open to any skill level, and all the supplies you'll need are included. You’ll even get to take home 2 pens to continue drawing with! Feel free to bring along your own pens/markers or plants from home if you'd like to experiment.
