Playing with Acrylic Inks

with Fiona Fung

Have some fun with some acrylic ink painting techniques with tips given. Find out how similar it is to using watercolours but also different. A place to ask inky and watercolour questions!
Fiona is a visual artist who uses many techniques; oils, acrylic, acrylic inks, watercolour, henna and more to express the beauty and emotions she sees in nature and people. She has lived and worked in a number of African and European countries and loves the richness of peoples and cultures, especially expressed through the arts. She is one of the organisers of the Global Creative Studio Day, facilitates the online French Creative Studio, and is in cross-cultural mission with Arts Release.
