  Jeennie Nickolls will be sharing what she learned recently about painting with alcohol inks on tiles. Join us on Wednesday, August 2, 10:00-1:00 to learn this fun technique. The cost is a $3 materials fee plus a $3 studio fee. Jeennie will supply 4” white smooth ceramic tiles, alcohol in spray bottles, Sharpie colored markers and a small set of Jaquard Pinata alcohol inks to share. You bring watercolor brushes (the ink may stain them), paper towels and a small plastic container to drop ink into, as well as reference photos. To experiment some more, bring your own inks and markers, different sizes of tiles (available from Home Depot) and other surfaces, like glass, watercolor paper, metal, etc.

  Barry teaches watercolor painting techniques. He says:

  For references, I prefer something of their own.....a photo or sketch as to a page from a magazine.....or worse someone else's painting from mag. But I can't dictate to for some students have been inspired by a painting and want to see if they can create the same look and there is some merit in that, so let's let them bring in what they will!!  

  Let's just say preferably their own photo or sketches.

  Class will be called “Why values are composition's best friend”. We will discuss and have an exercise pertaining to such. We will also discuss the necessity of having the right painting equipment.......What's in your paint box. We will follow with our traditional one on one instruction. Students should bring reference photos. One thing I would like all students to have is a box of pop up Kleenex.

  Maximum class size: 16
  Minimum class size: 10
