Alcohol Ink Art Class – Landscapes with Jane Steelman

May 10 @ 5:00 pm 7:00 pm

About Alcohol Inks

Alcohol ink is a medium and painting technique. The fast-drying and highly pigmented inks allow you to create vibrant marbled works of art. This is a great medium for first-time and experienced painters.

About the Class

In this workshop you will learn the basic techniques of painting with alcohol inks using various methods, such as free flow, pouring, and painting with brushes, cotton swabs and more while creating your beautiful inkscape/landscape! Everyone’s piece will be one-of-a-kind. Artist Jane Steelman has many designs for you to select from and re-create reflecting your own creativity and individuality. You do not need to have previous art experience.
