Inky fingers

I spent today at Walton taking part in a new workshop - Gesso & Acrylic Ink. It's not a method I have used before so it was interesting to try out theses exciting new mediums. I really enjoyed the workshop - building up the background on mount board with gesso and found objects (such as leaves/seeds/feathers) then using acrylic inks on top in a watercolour fashion - letting the colours run into the lines and valleys created by the texture.

Workshops are run by Clare Dean...
