Alcohol Ink Painting

Arts & DIY
Learn techniques for working with vibrant alcohol inks abstractly or realistically on synthetic watercolor paper from an award-winning Chicago artist. After a short, thorough demo, you will explore these amazing colorful inks on your own as I provide occasional suggestions and guidance as you create. You will complete 5 - 7 small paintings in one session! Display and UV protection options discussed. This is a great workshop for teachers!

I had an amazing time and came home with wonderful art pieces. Our teacher demonstrated the technique for us and offered advice as needed. It was a wonderful experience and I would absolutely do this again. I left the class understanding how to create this art at home.
