WORKSHOP #1 COLOR CHART AND ACTIVATOR


Start here with a Workshop #1 where you will learn the different tools and materials used in Painting on Fabric with Inktense.


About:

Are you frustrated by not knowing exactly what color your pencils are going to make on your fabric? Are you tired of having to paint something multiple times to get the right color? Would you like see what other colors your pencils can make by blending them? I was tired of this too, that's why I made this color chart and matrix to solve these problems! It allows you to know exactly how your colors are going to look! Saving you time, frustration, and money.

You'll even have different values of your pencils to reference.

Gardening Talk:


Gardening Talk:


Pollinators are in trouble due to:

-habitat loss

-pesticides

-climate change

-parasites

-disease


How we can help and why:

-Plant native plants acclimated to our climate, growing season, soil

-Pollinators co-evolved with their native plants

they feed on specific plants

-Butterflies only lay eggs on their host plant

Example: Monarchs need Milkweed

Glad I Joined!

I am really glad that I joined. I am learning things about nature that I did not know and I become more fascinated every day. The pace of the fabric art/ inktense class is perfect for a newbie and I am fascinated by the range of colors I can get on fabric with one pencil. It is a real JOY to get together and create and learn with Laura's class.
