Taught by Maribeth Jagger
972-837-8951 – [email protected] – http//maribethjaggerartist.weebly.com/
Tuesdays
Class held at The McKinney Art Studio
101 Lamar St., McKinney, Texas (corner of Lamar and Kentucky, across from the downtown McKinney Library)
Cost for 4 week class: $100. Limit of 8 per class. Paid registration will save your spot!
All levels welcome. You don’t need prior experience in painting to take this course.
Course description: This series focuses on materials and techniques used to create wonderful works of art in alcohol ink. No pressure! Just fun watching the inks flow and do their own thing, with a little guidance from the artist.
Supplies (You will need to bring to class):
1. INKS: Ranger Adirondack alcohol inks. They can be purchased at craft stores (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns) in the rubber stamping area in packs of three colors for about $10. a pack (bring your coupons!) You can order individual colors online – lots of colors to choose from. I order from Mister Art and they usually come within a week or less: http://www.misterart.com/crafts/stamps-embossing/inks-powders/ranger-tim-holtz-adirondack-alcohol-inks.html
For this workshop, you will need a variety of colors. Suggested colors to choose from: Stream, Wild plum, Butterscotch, Sailboat, Watermelon, Citrus, Sunshine yellow, Sunset Orange, Purple Twilight, Raspberry, Lemonaide, Cool Peri, Eggplant, Espresso, Bottle and Denim (or whatever you like). Choose a mix of lights and darks (denim, eggplant, espresso or bottle are good darks.) Asel Art has a supply of alcohol inks made by Pinata. They are great inks, and a little more vibrant than the Rangers inks, but may be harder to lift from the paper. I also have a variety of inks available for purchase during the classes for $3.30 per bottle (many colors not available locally).
2. Yupo Paper: The only place I know to purchase this locally is Asel Art. You can purchase a 9 x 12 pack of ten sheets for around $20, or you can buy individual large sheets and cut it down to whatever sizes you want. (I’ll have a rotary cutter available). You can also order this online from many suppliers, but I’ve found that Jerry’s Artarama has great prices - http://www.jerrysartarama.com (NOTE: I don’t recommend the glossy cardstock sold with the inks at craft stores because the inks won’t lift well from it.) I will have sheets of Yupo paper at the classes available for purchase (5 x 7” for .50 each).
3. Brushes: You don’t need expensive brushes! Cheap, small watercolor or acrylic brushes work well. I generally use a #1, 2, or 4 round brush or small filbert (#2, #4). Just bring a variety if you have them.
4. Masking fluid: Any brand is fine (can be tinted or not). I’m partial to Incredible White Mask (Hobby Lobby) and Fine Line Resist Pen. Using liquid soap on your brush before applying masking fluid helps preserve your brush.
OPTIONAL: Pens: Black micron pens (01 is a good size), White pen (the Ranger pens sold with the inks work okay, but I prefer a Uniball Signo white pen which I’ve found online. We’ll discuss Spectrum Noir markers.
Any questions: feel free to text or email me. You can check out some of my work on my webpage (above).
