Painting with Alcohol Inks can be enjoyed by everyone from the professional artist to those who have never painted before. In this 2 day workshop you will explore using the inks, discovering what they can do & begin to paint and pour creative fun images. You will learn new & exciting ways to render loose & spontaneous florals & landscapes. The possibilities of what you can achieve using Alcohol Inks is only limited by your imagination. Day 1 we will be painting on TILE. Day 2 we will be painting on YUPO PAPER. Join Lorraine and enjoy the endless ways Alcohol Inks seem to defy imagination! This class is for all skill levels. No drawing skills required.

Watercolorist Lorraine Rimmelin strives for a level of excitement and movement that engages the viewer in her interpretation of nature; finding dynamic juxtapositions in groups of flowers or shapes in a sunrise, and capturing the essence of these images as she develops her paintings.
