Class Content: Learn about creating Landscapes & Florals with Alcohol Inks in these 6-hour one day classes!
An outline of the class content will be distributed at the beginning of the day. We’ll talk about the different substrates that can be used, how to preserve your work, the pros and cons of the different weights of Yupo Paper, and the best ways to purchase the paper depending on your needs. (Not necessarily in a pad!) We’ll talk about the differences in brands of ink and gadgets on the market you can live without. Kathy will bring sample paintings to show various techniques and do demos during each day.
Supply List: ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED! Set-ups of needed equipment will be provided. There will be a selection of colors at each individual’s desk as well as over 100 additional colors you may select from Kathy’s supply of inks to personalize your work. There will be a color chart to facilitate choosing colors that appeal to you. We will be completing 4 to 5 paintings each day, in a range of sizes which, if time allows, will be coated with several coats of spray UV varnish to protect and preserve your artwork. Other equipment used to create different effects like an air compressor will be available for you to try.

Biography: Kathy works in several mediums, primarily alcohol inks and pine needle basketry.
What she loves about alcohol inks are the vibrancy of the color and the utter spontaneity of the medium. For the most part, she rarely uses a brush. Kathy was the recipient of the State of TN Art Commission’s 2024 Fellowship in Craft
