​​​​During a previous festive workshop we illustrated a European Robin. Once introduced to drawing techniques and composition options then the main focus was on mark-making techniques in pen and ink. Fine line pens were used and a range of marks made to create an array of textures and to develop the form of the subject.
The highlight was adding the washes of watercolour to complete this beautiful festive illustration that we could then use as a card or a Christmas gift.
