"I thought the course was going to be too basic; however, after week two, I realized that sometimes it's
necessary to go back to the basics; because it was at that time of discovery, a long time ago,
that I was having the best time with the inks."
week - 2 Hummingbirds is going to carry you into the joy of the right-brain shift and of really seeing value and better understanding color. Introducing more tools and inking techniques along with some basic drawing lessons. You'll be encouraged to allow your unique personality to shine through in your art while rendering joyful hummingbirds and learning about the principles and procedures that will expand and refine your skill set.

"I have been using alcohol inks for years, but you showed me some tips and tricks I had not tried before. I now use them
quite often and I feel that they (and all the other information) has really enhanced my alcohol ink artwork."

week - 3 Trees is about sharing even more proven illustration and design techniques. You'll learn a process for creating graduated and wet-in-wet backgrounds and will be rendering several types of symbolic trees on tile and Yupo in alcohol ink.

"Your course got me over my funk and back to loving the inks again. It reminded me that
I don't need to be so hard on myself and to just enjoy the process!"

week 4 - Florals and Landscape is all about taking your art - heart, mind and soul, to the next level. By loosening the rein on control and listening to your heart's song, you can tap into the creative energy and spiritual input offered by the Universal Mind within you. I'll be sharing a new technique I developed, using Snowcap and canned air (or compressor) on black tiles, to create lively florals and an abstracted Northern Lights landscape painting.

"I am always looking forward to see your videos! I re-watch them a few times. So inspiring and also so calming."
week 5 - Abstracts and Experiments is all about taking your art even further and going beyond the basics. You'll have fun experimenting with various techniques encompassing using air and masking fluid on different surfaces including Yupo, hardboard and canvas. Detailed techniques for achieving abstracted backgrounds, and finished pieces focus on using shapes, values, colors, and textures. Conceptual ideas interspersed with inspirational content will continue to expand your imagination and enhance your artistic attitude, understanding and growth.
