Create beautiful illustrations in pen and ink in this Boston Center for Adult Education class beginning Wednesday, January 20, from 7:30 – 9:30 and continuing weekly through March 2. Students will learn the techniques of ink application, including line work, stippling, cross-hatching and inkwash. Each week will focus on a different botanical subject. Knowledge of tone and shading in graphite (either through Botanical Illustration in Graphite or previous experience) is recommended for success in this class. You will leave the six-week course with the skills to create your own “masterpieces.” The instructor is Nancy Bentivegna, and the series price is $238 (BCAE members $202), with a materials cost of $15. A complete materials list may be found at www.bcae.org. The class will be held at 122 Arlington Street in Boston, and you may register online or by calling 617-267-4430.  Image from www.artfire.com.
