The Art of Painting with Alcohol Inks with Mary Wojciechowski
Saturday, April 12- 10:00AM–3:00PM (1 Class)
Alcohol inks, highly pigmented and quick drying, differ from other fluid mediums as they flow, intermingle and create distinctive textures, often with unexpected results. One of the benefits of painting with alcohol inks is the opportunity to begin with an abstract composition and then, as the alcohol evaporates and the ink pools, to see the possibility of adding realistic floral elements.
Artists with any experience are welcomed.
