Class Content: Learn about creating Landscapes with Alcohol Inks on April 9th, or Florals on April 10th, in these 6 hour classes.
An outline of the class content will be distributed. We’ll talk about the different substrates that can be used, how to preserve your work, the pros and cons of the different weights of Yupo Paper, and the best ways to purchase the paper depending on your needs. (Not necessarily in a pad!) We’ll talk about the differences in different brands of ink and gadgets on the market you can live without. I will have sample paintings to show various techniques, and do demos during each day. Although we won’t be making coasters, I’ll do a demo on how it is done and we’ll talk briefly about alcohol ink ornaments.
Supply List: ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED! Set-ups of needed equipment will be provided. There will be a selection of colors at each individual’s desk as well as over 100 additional colors you may select from my supply of inks to personalize your work. There will be a color chart to facilitate choosing colors that appeal to you. We will be completing 4 to 5 paintings, in a range of sizes which, if time allows, will be coated with several coats of spray varnish to protect and preserve your artwork. Other equipment used to create different effects like an air compressor will be available for you to try.
Bring a piece of cardboard or poster board to mount your art on to facilitate spraying it with varnish and transporting it home.
Bring lunch and drinks, dessert will be provided. Email me if you are gluten free or allergic to pecans or walnuts.
Biography: Kathy works in several mediums, primarily alcohol inks and pine needle basketry.
What she loves about alcohol inks are the vibrancy of the color and the utter spontaneity of the medium. For the most part, she rarely uses a brush. Kathy was the recipient of the State of TN Art Commission’s 2024 Fellowship in Craft.
