Join local artist Marjorie Nilssen for a serene and inspiring afternoon of expressive painting with alcohol inks. This exclusive workshop, titled "Creative Explorer: Marjorie Nilssen teaches Painting with Alcohol Inks," is designed to introduce participants to the captivating world of expressive painting using a palette of alcohol inks. These highly pigmented, acid-free inks offer a fast-drying medium that allows for spontaneous and magical ink spreading on paper. Under Marjorie's expert guidance, attendees will explore the unique characteristics of alcohol inks and the tools used, with a special focus on artistic exploration. The workshop will take place at the greenwater garage in New London, MN, on November 18, 2023. Participants will have the opportunity to create their one-of-a-kind paintings on Yupo paper, a remarkable waterproof and synthetic surface that enables the creation of nuances and patterns impossible to achieve on traditional watercolor or drawing paper. This in-person workshop is exclusively for adults, and all necessary supplies will be provided. Attendees are advised to dress comfortably and bring an apron or protective covering for clothing.
