Convert System.Drawing.Pen to SkiaSharp Type

i have an old asp.net project which uses heavily system.drawing types. But for performance reasons (process wide locking etc.) i will switch to skia/skiasharp. As a first migration step i am looking for a way to convert Pens, Brushes and Fonts to equivalent skiasharp types. Is this possible?
I only find extension methods for Color etc.

Yes, you should find SkiaSharp to be a suitable replacement for System.Drawing. Pens and Brushes are condensed into the SKPaint object. See the examples here.

As for fonts you use the static SKTypeface class to create an instance of an SKTypeface. There are a variety of ways to bring in fonts for example:

SKTypeface.FromFamilyName(String, SKFontStyleWeight, SKFontStyleWidth, SKFontStyleSlant)
