Painting With Magic!
Denise Johnson, Instructor, Guide & Ink Magician
Come join me and let's create something beautiful with this powerful magic called Alcohol Inks - a medium unlike any other! No previous art experience or skill is needed to create spectacular paintings. If you can draw a straight line or a crooked line, you’ll have guaranteed success. I'll be there with my positive energy and enthusiasm to guide you at your own pace. You'll soon discover that with alcohol inks, there are no mistakes. Above all we'll have FUN! We'll be painting on various surfaces including Corian which is my most favorite. The inks play beautifully on this surface. I'll have a wide arrange of inks and tools. We'll explore different methods of playing with the inks that will leave you amazed and dazed! I give you permission to have fun and play like a 5 year old. Remember those days? I'll do demonstrations throughout the afternoon sharing my tips, tricks and secret stuff I've learned during my 9 years of painting with alcohol inks.
For many, it becomes a very moving and spiritual experience. The inks have the ability to transform themselves into compelling images which are often individually interpreted offering insight into hidden internal thoughts and emotions. When least expected, flowers, people, animals, trees, birds and every sort of magical apparition make an appearance. Happy accidents abound. Painting with alcohol inks is like a beautiful dance where at times the inks lead and you will follow. At other times you'll be the leader. The pinnacle is reached when you're in harmony and you dance together.
