HOMER LIVE!: LEMONT ART GUILD PEN AND INK DEMONSTRATION

Dan Laib will be presenting a pen and ink demonstration that makes use of a fine point Sharpie marker and will show how to draw with the pen, techniques for shading, and giving texture with the pen.  It's a lot of fun and it's amazing what incredible artwork you can come up with just ink and paper!  The ink drawing can be colored with watercolor, marker, digitally, or just left the way it is.  Join the presentation and be prepared to draw along!  All you will need is a fine point marker, regular permanent marker, or even a ball point pen and something to draw on, card stock or even regular copy paper will do.  To see some of Dan’s artwork, check out his website: www.DanGogh.art or go to his YouTube page:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJkp6WLcyc1gHUai-kd2fmg
