Ink and wash occupies an interesting cross-over position between drawing and painting. It has been a popular medium across the centuries used regularly by artists such as Nicolas Poussin, Vincent Van Gogh, Samuel Palmer and Cy Twombly, and is an exciting element of contemporary expressive work.
Learn how to combine ink and wash to enhance and add depth to your drawing and as a speedy way to take tonal notes. Or as an experimental expressive way to make your mark. We will explore a variety of subjects including landscape, botanical, still life and the abstract.
