An 酒精墨水畫 at The Tingology is not simply a new art form to learn. It is all about changing the way you think, feel and create. Alcohol ink painting is a refreshing change of the classical principles of art. It is crazy, wild, and full of sudden surprises. You may have never picked up a brush or you may have been painting all your life but this workshop will make you think in ways that you had not thought before.

As a beginner, you may somehow be uncertain. “Can I really do this?” you might ask yourself. That’s normal. Alcohol ink is uncontrollable–it spreads, combines, and acts in manners that are not always premeditated. But that is what the magic is. The less control you are in the more you become open-minded to possibilities. The workshop helps you with that change of perspective, showing you that you have to have faith in the process and live in that chaos.

When you are using the inks, you come to know that it is not a failure, but it is an opportunity. You do not consider something wrong written on the brush, but you think of something new. With alcohol ink, each, and every streak, every drip, every mixing of color is part of the creation process. The more you try the more you learn to leave your instincts to take charge. It will not take long and you will be creating in a natural, free and exciting facet.

The best part? The more competent you are, the more confident you become. The workshop also makes you change your mind to stop thinking of your self as not being an artist and to start thinking that you are making something wonderful. And, in case you are willing to push your creativity to the next level and get over self-doubt, there is no better place than an alcohol ink workshop. Believe in the ink, believe in the process, but above all, believe in yourself.
