Love those alcohol ink paintings you see in galleries? Wish you knew how they did that? Join this class with master teacher and artist Julie Tibus to learn the techniques of painting with alcohol ink on paper and receive guidance on your individual pieces.

Use what you've learned (and practice to learn more) by painting a neon beta fish on black.  Follow that up by doing some colorful roosters on white paper!  Bright alcohol ink will bring your pieces to life! 

Julie will provide lots of demonstrations and she has planned for plenty of time for guidance and individual coaching as you work.  By the end of the two days you will definitely know how to make alcohol ink work for you and two alcohol ink pieces ready to hang (or gift!).

And the best part?  No experieince is necessary!  (But if you have experience, coaching will be at your level.)
