Alcohol Ink Workshop with Sonomi Kobayashi

Alcohol Ink: Fluid Abstract Paintings

【Workshop Description】

Explore this unique material called alcohol ink, that lets you create transparent, fluid, and abstract imagery with distinct qualities. The way the ink spreads on paper is so calming and healing – almost meditative. This workshop is great for new painters as well as experienced artists looking for new material to try out and explore their abstract side with colors. Participants will be guided through everything they need to know about the material, its characteristics, tools, and basic techniques to get started with alcohol ink painting. Some additional methods and techniques will also be presented to create your own unique artwork.
