Ink drawings can be striking and beautiful. They have a vivid element of contrast that can define forms in a dramatic or whimsical way. If you enjoy the look and feel of ink drawings, and would like to try a new medium, come spend a fun day exploring this fascinating art form.
In this class you’ll learn to use brush pens, inking brushes, felt tip pens and nib pens to create striking high-contrast images. You’ll learn how to do feathering, hatching, cross-hatching, and more. You’ll also learn how to use a synthetic watercolor brush that produces clean, beautiful fluid lines just like those of a sable brush (but costs twenty times less). This class is a good follow-up for the Cartooning class, but it will also interest non-cartoonists. A materials kit will be available for this class at the University Bookstore in Seattle.
Nils Osmar has made his living in the arts since the 1980s, and has taught both accredited and non-accredited classes in Seattle for over twenty years, through the University of Washington’s ASUW Experimental College, Antioch University’s Heritage Institute, Shoreline Community College, and Classesandworkshops.com.

STUDENT COMMENTS
Great class, well organized. I wish you offered it more often… I’d actually take it again. – Jerry B., Seattle
Mr. Osmar was well organized, and he is an amazing artist. I came into the class brand new at working in ink. I won’t say I’m a polished artist now but I learned some things that I know will help me improve as I practice them. I will be signing up for his other classes in winter quarter. – Jean G., Kent
This is my fourth class…. they’re really fun. I love ink drawing and I loved that we had most of the day to draw. The information about materials and types of surfaces to ink on was very helpful. Thanks! – M.J. (Seattle)
The instructor’s artwork is incredible. And I can see a big improvement in my own inking after just one day. The class is solid and helpful. – Mel R., Seattle
Good times Nils, great class! – Dave I., Seattle
