Kids’ Haunted Forest India Ink Paintings *Registration Required

October 8 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Use India Ink to create a creepy forest painting!

Supplies are limited. Registration is required. This workshop is intended for children ages 7 and up. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver. FREAK’N Art is located in Downtown Bend. Registered participants will receive meet up instructions.

India Ink is a traditional medium that has been used by artists since around 3000 BC. In this workshop we will explore the medium to produce emotional monochromatic paintings. We will learn how to mix a few values creating various shades of black and grey. Using a sumi brush, we will practice brush strokes, and explore techniques like wax resist, wet on wet, and salt, to see how they react to our ink washes. We will utilize all these methods to craft a painting of spooky textured trees.
