In this course we visit Ambleside in The English Lake District where we draw the well visited Bridge House using Pen and Ink. Then you will learn how to float in watercolour washes to make a delightful painting. I also show you how to get more from this lesson by making prints from the finished pen and ink drawing, and then hand colouring the prints for more sales.
