A One-Day Workshop in Central Park
Date: Saturday, August 2, 2025
Time: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Cost: $80 per person
(Rain date: Sunday, August 3)
Join me for a creative and fun morning of drawing in one of the most iconic landscapes in the world—Central Park. This 4-hour outdoor workshop focuses on drawing expressive, atmospheric landscapes using only ballpoint and rollerball pens.
Whether you’re new to pen drawing or looking to refine your technique, this workshop will help you see and capture the landscape in a fresh, bold way—with just a pen and paper.
What You’ll Learn:
How to properly hold and control a pen to improve your mark-making
Techniques to create tone, texture, and depth using line alone
The basics of composition: where to place light, shadow, and focal points
How to let the white of the page do the work and create atmosphere
We’ll start with short warm-up exercises to explore the qualities of each pen, then shift to a longer landscape study—drawing directly from the park around us.
Location: Central Park (exact location will be emailed)
Materials (not included):
Bring the following materials with you (or similar alternatives):
Ballpoint pen: Zebra F-301 (.7mm) or similar
Rollerball pen: Uni-ball Vision Elite (.5mm or finer preferred)
Paper: Sketchbook or pad no larger than 9x12 inches, smooth surface preferred
Examples:
Stonehenge paper pad
Moleskine Sketchbook
Hot press watercolor paper
Strathmore 400 drawing pad or sketchbook
Talens Art Creations sketchbook
Tips for a Comfortable Day Outdoors:
Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated
Wear sunscreen and a hat for sun protection
A portable stool, folding chair, or picnic blanket is highly recommended
Light snacks are welcome
Most importantly—come ready to draw and have fun!
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Full refund available up to 48 hours before the workshop (by Thursday, July 31 at 10:00 AM) via email.
