Flora On Point Online: SPNG ’25 Fri/Sat 10-12.30 PM Eastern 4 Sessions | All Levels | $180 | April 18, 19, 25, 26 20% EarlyBird Discount thru Friday, Mar 15th.
With pointed pen, watercolors/gouache, inks, and a fine brush, incorporate drawn floral illustrations with flourished Open-Shaded Script. Here's the updated class schedule: Day 1 Fri Apr 18 2025 10-12.30pm Eastern Day 2 Sat Apr 19 2025 10-12.30pm Eastern Day 3 Fri Apr 25 2025 10-12.30pm Eastern Day 4 Sat Apr 26 2025 10-12.30pm Eastern Fall in love with your pointed pen in a new way, by drawing your letterforms and flowers with a dip pen, letting the ink dry, then waking up it back up with water to create delicate washes for the open shades of your letters, and shading/depth for your floral elements. Open-Shaded Script or FLORA are not prerequisites for this course, though if you’ve taken either in the past, you’ll recognize the stroke sequences we’ll be using with our pointed pens.
Classes are recorded and available for download within two weeks after last class date.

Supply List:

FP93-Fine. Pentel Aquash Waterbrush 
WNG-HC1. Harvest's WN Gouache Primary Colors 
H129. Dual-Use Workshop Holder (Oblique + Straight) 
N205. G-Pen Nib Sampler 
P134. Fabriano Studio Watercolor Paper Pad, Hot Press 9 x 12 

PAPER
Suggestions:
• Colored, white, or Ivory Cover Paper: Any ink-friendly paper that won’t bleed with the ink you are using and that will work well with pointed pen and withstand a bit of brush work. Cut to 8.5 x 11 to match grids in the exemplar. (PS111)
• Canson cover weight papers
• Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper. (PS47)
• Strathmore Calligraphy Pad (This is a lovely ivory laid sheet.) (P83)
• Southworth Résumé Paper in White or Ivory (24 or 32 lb.).

INKS:
• Colored dip-pen inks of your choosing that won’t bleed. (My favorites are gouache/water/gum arabic mixtures). (WNG1, HG749, I84)
(Please refer to the Mixing Inks video on AnneFans : https://www.facebook.com/751209355/videos/10158500268214356/)
• Pan (cake) inks you've planted in your pallet that came from a tube and are now dried or cake sets : Finetec metallics and other brands. (S1000, SGP10, S3041)

White Ink:
• Dr. Martin’s Bleedproof White (water based that is thinned to your taste with water.) I also use this to make my mixed inks more opaque and pastel. (I38)
• Titanium white gouache or watercolor (HW100, WNWC1)

Pens/Pencils:
• Pointed pen nib for lettering and flourishing and a pen holder. Can use a straight or oblique pen holder. My preferred nib is a medium flex and not too pointy. We want hairlines, but something that you feel comfortable gliding with. You may wish to trade in your extra-fine flexy nib with something more sturdy. Experiment to see what glides well for you with a straight holder. (N113, N118, H133)
• Soft Dark Dull Pencil for sketching (PL38)
• Hard fine pencil for rules (PL21)
• Feel free to bring in embellishments like stickers and stamps!
• Any glitter pen or glue you’d like to use accent your lettering. I Love a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen by Sakura. (M96-2)

BRUSHES:
• Brush for painting: Pentel Aquash Water Brush - Small (FP93-Fine)
• Brush for loading ink onto your nib: White Bristle Brush: FLAT Size 2, 4, or 6 Great for mixing gouache or loading ink. (BR02)

Misc.:
• Ruler (S270)
• Bone Folder (for envelopes) (S308)
• Postage stamps (for envelopes)
• Glitter Glue, gems, etc., for accents. (S3003)
• Chocolate
• More Chocolate
