UC Sumi Ink Animal Creations

After the manner of the great Ink\watercolor Artist, Endre Penovac, we will explore his methods of applying Sumi ink to wet watercolor paper to achieve "magical edges" in representing fur, fluff, and feathers! Animals such as cats, chickens, roosters, crows, rabbits, pandas, and more will be attempted. Rock Salt and Saran Wrap will also be used to create interesting effects. Truly a fun experimental class, guaranteed to peak your observation about the gesture and charm of our feathered and furry friends!
