Our current exhibition, Remington and Russell in Black and White, explores the artists’ works made in grisaille and used for illustrations in books and magazines. Some of the artworks featured in the exhibit are pen & ink drawings as well as some ink wash paintings.

Join us for our next Sid’s Studio adult workshop in which local artist Dan Jian will teach participants various pen & ink techniques that will then inform the making of their own pen & ink artwork. Students are encouraged to bring a couple of images saved on their phone for inspiration.

Format

This one-day workshop takes place in an afternoon session in the museum’s studio classroom:

• Saturday, March 8 @ 1:30-4:00pm

Supplies

The museum will provide each student all necessary art supplies and materials during class.

Cost

$15 Supply Fee
