Introduction to Class
Meet Kellie and see what your completed art project will look like. I love seeing the completed works, so if you like to share your work at the end with the class that would be great. :-)
Kellie Chasse will go over all the materials needed to complete your dragonfly alcohol ink course. Please feel free to ask any questions about supplies in the course. Alcohol Inks are a Dye and were meant for Crafts not fine art; they are NOT lightfast, therefore UV Rays and Direct sunlight may fade colors.
We will begin by prepping our paper and work space to begin our alcohol painting of the dragonfly.
Ready to begin painting the background.
Time to bring our dragonfly to life on our alcohol ink yupo paper.
Now we can do some more work on our dragonfly.
We really start having some fun now. Perfect area to add your own flare if you wish.
I will show you how to make some changes and being more creative with your dragonfly. Alcohol inks give us a lot of flexibility in our art projects.
Time for the final details and we are done.
We will not do a Damselfly. Refer back to the video that shows you how to setup your paper if you need to before we start this next alcohol ink project.
We will now paint our Damselfly.
Painting a second Damselfly into our alcohol ink painting. You can paint as many into your piece or art as you want and use the colors you love.
Learn about a few different display options for your Alcohol Ink Tiles.
I have found a new resource for some Aftosa products since they have gone out of business.
They were purchased by a company called Clay Planet. I spoke with a rep from the company based in California US, they plan to continue to offer some of the products that Aftosa sold. (Next Lecture)
Another supplier that I've found that has some really fun porcelain ornaments is Maryland China. I'll link both of these in the resource link for you.
Sealing your inks is important for longer life of your art. I will go over how I seal my own art to protect them for many years of viewing.
In this section I show how to professionally frame a watercolor painting. You can do the same process with your Alcohol Ink paintings once they have been sealed. Just make sure your painting does not touch the glass, usually your mat will be deep enough to keep the painting from touching the glass.
