Event Details
Don’t get caught up in trying to create perfection. This program is about exploring new techniques and giving ourselves time to be creative!
This month we'll be joined by Tess Imobersteg, of Tangled String Creations! Tess is a Multi-media artist and Art Instructor.
Using alcohol inks, the participants will prepare small paintings that can then be used as backgrounds for silhouette drawings. While those dry, Tess will lead the class in creating a silhouette drawing on a prepared background. The participant learns methods to work with alcohol ink, and which media work well with drawing on an inked background.
Please wear clothes you wouldn't mind getting messy, or bring an apron or an art shirt, as these inks stain easily!
Space is limited, please register to reserve your spot.
