Beginner Techniques in Ink

You MUST sign up and pay for the class on the Catalyst’s website: https://www.catalystartscollaborative.com/booking-calendar/beginner-techniques-in-ink-fri-6-30pm?referral=service_details_widget&timezone=America%2FDenver Make sure you sign up for the class that is being held on October 23rd! If you love ink but get nervous about making permanent marks, this class is for you. You'll create a finished ink drawing while learning a new tool (like micron pens, nib pens, markers, and brushes) or technique alongside methods like hatching, crosshatching, ink washes, line weight, and clean line work. The focus isn’t perfection, but practice: you’ll learn how to use fewer lines more confidently, build form, and create clear focal points in your work. This class is a great place to get more comfortable with ink, experiment without pressure, and grow your drawing skills. You'll walk away with new tools under your belt, plus an ink piece from every session, and maybe even start to love that “scary” permanence of ink.
