<li>M A T E R I A L S: Students are introduced to the range of materials I've tried that can be used with ink (a class materials list is provided in the class resources)</li>
<li>G E T T I N G   I N S P I R E D: Students are shown how to gather and interpret ink artwork done by other artists</li>
<li>B A S I C   T E C H N I Q U E S: Students are shown basic ways to use ink and utilize inspiration to create a catalog of marks and textures to use in the future</li>
<li>I D E A T I O N: Students are shown how to plan their postcard set with a few key points in mind</li>
<li>R E F E R E N C E   P H O T O S : Students are shown how to ethically gather reference photos to be used in making their postcard set</li>

<li>F I N I S H I N G: Students are shown analog and digital finishing techniques to get their finished postcards ready for the world</li>
</ol>If you've never used ink before, have no fear! This class was born when I decided one day to try ink, without any training, and found great joy and success with it. Ink is inexpensive, dynamic, awesome for texture building, and an excellent medium to practice drawing and painting with. See you in class!
