Join pen and ink artist and illustrator Sam Gillett in crafting immersive drawings with pens and paints. Using pens, markers, acrylic inks and watercolor washes, you’ll learn how to draw four magical scenes showcasing misty castles, a cozy greenhouse and more. In these lessons, Sam will detail how he uses perspective, simple line techniques, shading and details to make ink illustrations pop on paper. He’ll also provide the option of adding dashes of color for a finishing touch on each project.
