This course is all about PLAY, and is less structured than my other step by classes. Alcohol Ink is also a great medium to help more detailed artists loosen up.

I'll show you some really easy ways, we'll play with Air to create a fun, exciting, and colorful abstract painting. Each and every piece you create will be different than mine. This is a personal journey to create , and your pieces will have your stamp on it or your own Art Expression.

In this course we will loosen up our ideal self and learn to go where the paints take us. I'll be showing you how to work with a straw, canned air and lastly and my personal favorite, using a small mini air brush to blow the paints around using just air. Of course you can use other Air compressors. But the key is to play and test things out without fear. You'll notice I just go with the flow when creating these. Let go of your perfectionism in this class and say I CAN do this!
