How To Draw Video Series
Part 3



In part 3 of this "how to draw" video series I cover pen and ink.

It's a wonderfully versatile medium that can be used to create beautiful drawings on their own or to add definition and crispness to watercolor paintings.

We look at the traditional dip pen technique, as well as the more modern sketching pens - oh, and a couple of items you might not have thought about...

Hi Robert, just want to say thank you so much for your emails, so much information and learning in them, and the videos are wonderful. Love your art and the art displayed on the links. Once again thanks, you have no idea of the enjoyment they bring.

I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your acrylics tutorial on YouTube quite by accident and have fallen in love with it. I've been showing it to several friends who always ask me about art -- I'm an artist by profession -- and they all love it too. Thanks so very much. :) It is most appreciated.

I just want to take a minute of your time and thank you for your free video instructions. Your personality is a wonderful and refreshing change. I have lots to learn but your instructions are by far the best!!!! I found my problems within the first 5 minutes--I over think the basic shape and complicate the entire painting. Sorry for rambling, I think your awesome and God Bless.

Awesome web site! Thank you for your contribution to the art world. I stumbled on your web site looking for info for someone here in South Africa to tell my mom in L.A to be referred back to me in S.A. Great info. Your tutorials are being used in a huge internatonal company here that my friend works at.
