Just to give you an idea as to the diversity of the AENJ Saturday workshops i'll tell you about the one I attended last Saturday. A professor from Gloucester County College taught us how to paint and draw with reeds in the style of Van Gogh. We made our own quill pens out of bamboo and other dry reeds. Walnut ink, made by soaking and simmering actual walnuts, then straining the liquid/nut mixture to produce a beautiful, dark, sepia ink, was used to draw with our hand cut pens. The professor had provided the ink, since producing it is quite a lengthy process. It was a fun and informative workshop, as usual.
Again, let me know if any of you have an interest in drawing and painting etc. instruction in a relaxed atmosphere and I'll tell you who to contact.
