We have had a set of learning pen and ink videos on YouTube recommended by one of our students. The videos have been created\u00a0by professional US based artist Alphonso Dunn. The\u00a0video below will\u00a0interest London Art College students who are\u00a0learning pen and ink while on their creative journey with us. It\u00a0can be a tricky medium to master and is covered in a number of our online art courses.<\/p>\n
