INKS IN MOTION: Alcohol Ink Workshop with Mary Wojciechowski (ALL LEVELS WELCOME!)
Instructor: Mary Wojciechowski Date/Time: Saturday, September 26th, 10am-3pm Location: RIWS Classroom (Lower Level) Materials Fee: $7
Alcohol inks, highly pigmented and quick drying, differ from other fluid mediums as they flow, intermingle and create distinctive textures, often with unexpected results. One of the benefits of painting with alcohol inks is the opportunity to begin with an abstract composition and then, as the alcohol evaporates and the ink pools, to develop the abstraction or possibly insert realistic elements.
INKS IN MOTION is designed for all levels of experience. Instruction is designed to accommodate all, introducing beginners to strategies in working with this exciting medium and, for those with experience, designed to build upon their prior experience. introducing these students to more advanced techniques in painting with this medium and an opportunity to work in a larger format, if desired.
During this workshop students will explore the unique qualities of alcohol ink and how it may be used for flowing abstracted works or using these abstracted initial pours as inspiration for adding representative elements. Attention to design and color will be emphasized and opportunities to create florals or landscapes using brushwork will be included for those who wish. Class time will be divided between demonstrations of the unique possibilities in painting with this medium and time for personal exploration., experimentation with a sense of creative playfulness encouraged.
