Ink Wash & Pen Workshop

Create Two Framed Landscape Pictures 

Join us for a relaxed and inspiring day creating vibrant landscapes and seascapes using loose Brusho ink washes, finished with fine black pen detail.

This enjoyable workshop combines bold, flowing colour with delicate line work, helping you capture the textures and atmosphere of favourite places — whether local scenes or somewhere special to you.

🍽️ Lunch and refreshments included
🎨 All materials provided
🖼️ Take home two framed pictures

What You’ll Learn

During the day, you will:

• Use loose Brusho ink washes to create expressive land or seascape backgrounds
• Explore how water and pigment interact to create natural textures
• Build atmosphere through colour blending and layering
• Add fine detail using black pens to define features and enhance contrast
• Work from images of local or favourite places to capture their unique character

Brusho inks are highly pigmented, water-reactive crystals that create vibrant, organic effects — perfect for skies, coastlines, fields and dramatic horizons.

You’ll complete two finished pieces, mounted and framed, ready to display at home.

About the Workshop Style

This session is informal, friendly and good fun, with techniques introduced through:

• Demonstrations
• Step-by-step guidance
• Individual one-to-one support

Whether you’re new to this medium or looking to experiment further, you’ll be supported throughout the day.
