NEW class inky blooms and a GIVEAWAY




Hello Friends! My next online class Inky Blooms goes live today and today I have a tiny peek and I am giving away 5 free spots in the class. Scroll to the bottom of this post for a chance to win!




INKY BLOOMS
$15

There is something so simple and beautiful about creating with ink. In this class we will use my favorite subject: flowers, to explore a variety of expressive techniques.Using brushes  we will experiment with creating dynamic and bold floral ink brush paintings.

This class is what I like to call a "micro class" it is structured into 1 LARGE lesson.

IMPORTANT-
All of my classes have unlimited access- once the class goes live you can create and access the class at any time and work at your own pace. There is no deadline or pressure to create.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SUPPLIES: This class like all of my classes, does NOT have a required supply list. Instead I will be sharing the supplies that I like to use and then give you a variety of options and inspiration to use supplies that work best for your process and your budget.

You can head on over to the shop HERE for all class details and registration!




ENTER TO WIN A FREE SPOT IN WATERCOLOR BLOOMS!

Leave me a comment
Tell me your favorite flower
I will randomly select 5 winners and announce them at the bottom of this post tomorrow! 

UPDATE WITH WINNERS!

Email me at alisaburke@gmail.com and I will get you access to the class!

  56. I added your blog to my Feedly a couple months back and WOW! What amazing things I've discovered in doing so! Your colouring pages are works of art; your colouring skills are awe-inspiring (you've helped me to improve on water-colouring, which I find quite challenging...not a talent that comes easily to me); your tips and techniques are eye-opening; your product reviews/recommendations incredibly helpful. At the moment, I also have two of your recent post ideas flagged to do with my niece (6) and nephew (4): the ice-dyed dress (we'll do a t-shirt for my nephew) and the art with yarn, which will be a fun, fabulous giggly-mess of creativity! Thank you for the class opportunity|

  63. Ok, seriously, the picture of the ink in your rinse glass is pretty awesome. The intensity of black & white watercolor caught my attention, it's pretty striking and sweet at the same time. My favorite flower is Siberian Iris, for the exact same reasons: in my garden it's the most intense pigment, the contrast is striking and it's super sweet as a cut flower in a vase too! Thanks for all the inspiration Alisa!
