Splash Ink & Color - Landscape with Ming Franz (Wednesday through Saturday)

Join Ming for this innovative 4- day class, she will demonstrate, lecture and look at student's work offering guidance and critique. Students will enjoy this delightful journey breathing life into your work with a spontaneous Western interpretation into a traditional Chinese painting technique - PoMo. Blending black Chinese ink with the three primary watercolors on Ma (mulberry paper) creates images unique to the artist's spirit of the moment. Ming will give a demonstration of the unique features of Splash Ink, and explain the materials used in the  random and controlled pouring. Students will experience splashing ink on rice paper. After the piece has dried, everyone will separate the sheets to see the resulting abstract and learn how to listen to the color.  She will explain various ways to finish the painting, special effects, such as salt, alcohol, etc. You will finish your painting with a group critique.
