Course: Pen and Ink 3 Required materials: 1. Basic drawing materials for preparatory drawing: • A few pencils (2H, H, B), eraser, pencil sharpener 2. Ink: • Winsor & Newton black Indian ink (with a spider man graphic on the package) This ink is shiny, truly black, and waterproof. Do not buy ‘calligraphy ink’. 3. Pen nibs & Pen holders : Pen nibs are extremely confusing to order online, and packages at stores have other nibs which are not used in class. Therefore, instructor will bring two of each nib and 1nib holders for each number, so students can buy them in the first class. Registrants need to inform the instructor if they wish to buy it in the class. • Hunt (Speedball) #512 Standard point dip pen and pen holder • Hunt (Speedball) # 102 Crow quill dip pen • Hunt (Speedball) # 107 Stiff Hawk Crow quill nib 4. Paper: • Strathmore Bristol Board, Plate, 140Lb (2-ply), (Make sure it is Plate surface- No vellum surface!) Pad seen this website is convenient: http://www.dickblick.com/products/strathmore-500-series-bristol-pads/ One or two sheets will be needed for each class. • Bienfang 360 Graphic Marker for preparatory drawing and tracing. Similar size with Bristol Board recommended http://www.dickblick.com/products/bienfang-graphics-360-marker-paper/ 5. Others: • Drawing board: Any board that can firmly hold drawing paper (A tip: two identical light weight foam boards serve perfectly as a drawing board, and keep paper safely in between while traveling.) * Specimen holder (frog pin holder, a small jar, etc.), a small water jar for washing pen nib) • Divider, ruler, a role of paper towel For questions, email Heeyoung at [email protected] or call 847-903-7348.
