As a technique pen and wash demo of a lighthouse is pretty straightforward and ideal for beginners and people new to art. The pen and wash (often called line and wash) is also perfect for urban sketching.
I used the same reference image in a previous demo that was A4 - I did this to see a side by side comparison of how sketch size effects the ration of line weight to colouring.
