Bring a splash of bold, saturated color to the page and discover why so many artists reach for these markers! Alcohol markers are fast-drying, dye-based pens celebrated for seamless blending and streak-free finishes. Comic artists, concept designers and fashion illustrators helped make them famous. In this hands-on drawing class, you'll experiment with dual-tip markers featuring both chisel and flexible brush nibs.
You'll start by exploring how colors work together, then trace an existing image to set up your piece. Next, you'll use colorless blenders and layering for smooth, streak-free transitions. You'll also learn to build depth with shading and value, render realistic shadows and mimic textures like shiny glass, soft fabric or metal. Plus, you'll pick up tips on marker paper, smudge-proof fineliners and marker care. It's the kind of skill-building you'd hope for from art classes for adults!
No drawing skills are required, and all materials are provided -- you'll be surprised how many shades there are to play with. Searching for creative things to do in Seattle? This is one of those art workshops that sparks a brand-new hobby. Bring someone special along -- it's also one of the most fun date ideas in town. You'll walk away with a bold, fully finished illustration ready to scan, frame or share!
