Roseville Area Schools Community Education

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at Abstract Art that is fun and Colorful? Alcohol Ink (AI) is a new painting technique that just screams ABSTRACT. With so many different techniques, AI will soon become a favorite medium. To make hydrangeas, you will paint using a silicone tool and AI in a palette. First, you will outline your hydrangeas to form the base. Then you will fill in the petals of each flower highlighting with white alcohol ink to create depth. To finish your painting, you will add flowing stems/leaves. Your instructor will help guide you through each step. You will have the opportunity to paint hydrangeas on a white or black background. If time permits, you can paint a second picture on the opposite color. Best part of using Alcohol Ink is if you don’t like a part of your picture, you can wipe it off with ISO alcohol.

Discover the colorful and playful world of alcohol ink painting! This versatile medium is perfect for creating bold, abstract designs—and in this class, you’ll learn how to transform flowing inks into vibrant abstract roses. Using a simple hairdryer technique, you’ll move the inks across your paper, shaping petals and textures as the colors dry. Add your own creative touch by layering backgrounds, blending colors, or incorporating leaves and other details. Your instructor will guide you step by step, helping you create a unique 6” x 9” painting in your choice of colors. If time allows, you’ll even have the chance to make a second piece. The best part? Alcohol ink is wonderfully forgiving—if you don’t love a section, just wipe it away with isopropyl alcohol and try again. Come ready to experiment, relax, and have fun exploring this exciting medium!
