Welcome to the Portsmouth Arts Guild

This is a one day workshop introducing a basic Italic alphabet using ink and a traditional broad nib dip pen. You will learn basic pen strokes, letter form, pen positioning, layout and spacing techniques. Participants will leave with a completed finished project and supplies to continue practicing at home.

The Portsmouth Arts Guild is proud to offer another plein air workshop with this wildly popular duo. Join us as Sam & Bill teach as they entertain. Both oil and watercolor artists will enjoy three full days of plein air painting and guidance. All levels are welcome, but you should have some plein air experience under your belt. This is a very popular class so sign up soon!

Please join us for this fun, relaxed and step-by-step drawing and painting 5-week class to celebrate the beauty of spring! You will only need to bring yourself, as all materials are included, including a “flower of the week”. Beginners are welcome, as well as experienced artists!
