Alcohol Inks: Basics & Beyond
Alcohol Inks: Basics & Beyond with Teri Jones
Take advantage of the unique qualities of alcohol inks on non-porous surfaces and create exciting abstracts and realistic paintings on paper and tile. No previous experience is necessary – just a sense of adventure and a willingness to try new techniques. Focus on an illusion of control rather than control itself. You just might find that a mistake can morph into magical expressions!
