Don’t think you can paint? Curious about alcohol inks? Well, in this class no experience is necessary!
Come and learn about how to manipulate this liquid medium to create abstract florals and nature, scenery and so much more. This medium is vibrant, bold and colourful.
Shelly will take you through the fundamentals of moving the ink around the paper and then making your piece come alive with just a few strokes of Posca markers or using a brush to create lines or dots of interest for finishing touches.
Get inspired and be proud of creating your own work of art!
