3 Ways to Create Flow and Movement in Your Art

Introduction to Alcohol Ink Painting

This course is designed to help you understand how alcohol inks move, blend, and interact with the surface—not to create perfect paintings.

Alcohol inks are fluid, spontaneous, and beautifully unpredictable.

The goal of this class is to give you a solid foundation so you can feel comfortable experimenting and enjoying the process.

In this beginner-friendly course, we will cover:

* Setup and workspace preparation

* Safety considerations

* Supplies needed to get started

* An introduction to Yupo paper and why it works so well with alcohol inks

You will create three simple alcohol ink paintings on Yupo paper as you learn:

* How alcohol inks move across the surface

* How to use air to guide and shape the inks

* How colors blend together

* How to create a simple and beautiful color transition

This class is perfect for beginners who want to understand the basics and gain confidence in working with alcohol inks.

By the end of the course, you will have:

* A clear understanding of how alcohol inks behave

* Three completed practice paintings

* The confidence to continue exploring on your own

No artistic experience is necessary.

Just bring your curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and a desire to let the colors flow. Join me and discover the joy of creating with alcohol inks.
