The Power of Pen, Ink, &

Watercolor. Presented by Cheryl Knowles-Harrigan

Registration REQUIRED.

All events are tentatively scheduled and may change. Please see the CMCL Events Calendar on our website, follow us on social media, and subscribe to our weekly eNewsletter for any and all updates.

Learn the methods of enhancing a watercolor with ink. The cartridge marker will be used to contour, further describe and embellish watercolors. The many methods of mark making can elevate the quality of the watercolor adding detail and volume. Many times these marks can rescue a watercolor that needs definition.

REQUIRED SUPPLIES:

• Students will need their usual watercolor supplies:
  • Watercolor paint, preferably tubed with at least a basic set of colors
  • Soft watercolor brushes - rounds and flats
  • Watercolor palette.
• A sketchbook for a preliminary exercise and to take notes. (I use Canson XL sketchbooks as they are durable or Canson Watercolor Sketchbooks),
• A waterproof micron pen
• 2 plastic containers for water
• Paper towels,
• A pencil (I use a Bic mechanical pencil),
• Tape (masking, artist's, or painter's tape)
• A white eraser- no pink erasers please.
• Some simple landscape photographs, and two pieces of colorful fruit (not grapes).
  • Pens and some photographs will be supplied. Also, we will take a 20 minute stretch break so bring a snack!
