Alcohol Ink Tuesday, October 22, 2024 from 7 to 9pm OR Wednesday, October 23, from 10 am to noon Instructor: Tammy Burgett I love the colors of Fall, especially when working with alcohol ink! Since Fall is right around the corner won’t you join me for this class and create your impression of what fall means to you. We’ll be working on 9” x 12” synthetic paper – you can choose your finished size based on whatever frame you have – and you’ll leave with your finished masterpiece ready to frame!
Alcohol Ink is a fun medium to paint with, but be warned it’s addictive (and slightly frustrating)! You’ll learn to manipulate the inks and play with color and texture as you complete your own fall landscape. Use the examples I provide or bring a picture for inspiration – each finished piece will be unique due to the nature of the inks.
No Experience Necessary! Lots of fun. This class is for students 16 years old and over. Class Fee is $40 for Members ($50 for Non-members) plus a Materials fee of $10. All paint, synthetic paper and brushes supplied by instructor. Minimum to hold class: 4 Maximum: 12. Please sign up by October 21, 2024.
Students should wear their “painting clothes” or bring an apron, as alcohol inks can be messy and they stain!
