With so many different techniques, AI will soon become a favorite medium. To make your Sugar Plum Tree, you will first create the background by blowing the AI with a hand blower and Isopropyl Alcohol. Then you will create the vase by dripping the AI and spreading with dental tools. Next, you can drop various inks in any color to create your flowers. The last step is to highlight your flowers with doodles. Remember this is the fun part - explore your creativity. The instructor will guide you through each step. You will make one 8” x 10” painting in your chosen colors. Given time, you can create a 2nd painting. Just come to have fun and enjoy yourself. Best part of using AI is if you don’t like a part of your picture, you can wipe it off with ISO alcohol. A $15 supply fee due to the instructor at class.
