Acrylic Blossoms Class


A vibrant colourful class with acrylic inks, acrylic paints, pva 'school' glue and crumpled tissue paper.


This is always a fun and enjoyable class 


After wetting the board we dropped colourful inks onto the water, where it spread and did it's own thing.


When dry we put on a layer of PVA glue and spread out a piece of tissue paper, crinkles included, to create a lovely texture


Once it had dried, we wet it again and dropped in a second set of acrylic inks and this became our background for our masterpieces! 


Working from some beautiful photos of Magnolia and Hampshire Apple Blossom, we created shapes, shadow .. and alot of pinks!



Below is tutor Claire demonstrating one of the stages
