Want to increase your understanding of how shadows transform shapes into forms? Want to embrace the medium of pen and ink in ways you may not have done before? Or perhaps you’re looking for an afternoon of experimentation and fun? Either way this may be the class for you!

Using basic still life arrangements we’ll explore how pen and ink can create shadows, textures, and dynamics. Handouts will be provided ahead of time so participants can gain a nominal appreciation for the intricacies of working in ink (trust me, it’s a LOT of fun!) and be ready to apply those skills when they arrive for class. Not to worry, late sign ups will be quickly brought up to speed. We’ll go over some basics, set up various pottery forms under light, and have at it.

All materials will be included and participants will get to take home a pair of drawing pens and paper so they can continue their journey in this most satisfying of mediums.

James Cassara has more than 35 years experience as an art teacher with Asheville City Schools, as well as having taught countless private and small group lessons. After years of painting in oil, watercolor, and gouache (which he still does) James has rediscovered his early love affair with pen and ink.
