Art classes - pen & ink

This barn is  on the way to Lakefield from Peterborough. Originally the Bell farm, it is now under new ownership and the colour of the barn and buildings have changed.

 This is a hatching technique and step by step instructions are given for each project. Size is approximately 13" X 10"

                                                     Primroses

Another stippling drawing with colour added.  A challenging project for the more advanced student.

All the art projects are worked from a photograph, and Terry Phillips supplied this one. The hatching technique was used for this one.

Hutchison House, in Peterborough, ON is an historical building that is open to the public.  A hatching technique project.

For the more advanced student, this street scene used the hatching technique and the painting in watercolour was a challenge too. Worth the effort though

Art classes are not just for women!  Although instructor Pam supplies most of the photographs, students are welcome to supply their own photographs.

In the Fall classes there is usually an opportunity to create a painting that can be made into Christmas cards ... with the help of a local printer of course. Now  you can't get a more original card than that!

A popular attraction - the Peterborough Lift Locks - was captured with a pen & ink drawing, then various dilutions of Indian Ink was painted in for "colour".  This is an example of another "colouring" technique that compliments the pen & ink drawing.
