Forest Lake Area Schools Community Education

Have you ever wanted to paint beautiful flowers but thought it would be too hard? Alcohol Ink (AI) painting is more abstract which gives you the freedom to paint without rules. You will learn the basics of AI while learning to create flower petals by blowing ink with an airbrush. You’ll get to practice on a 6” x 6” white tile; the ink wipes clear using isopropyl alcohol. Once you feel comfortable creating petals, you will create a flower on the tile using the colors of your choice. You will also learn to create flower centers and then paint flowers on both white and black plastic paper. A supply fee of $15 is due at class.

Imagine making a one-of-a-kind abstract fish painting for your home. After creating the outline of the fish, you will choose your alcohol ink (AI) colors to fill in the body, tail and of course, the lips. After the basic fish is completed, you will use markers to really give your fish a whimsical personality! You will go home with two unique fish. A $10 supply fee is payable to the instructor at class.
