Inspiration
Crocuses are one of the first flowers to bloom in spring—small, delicate, and full of color. Their arrival always inspires me to paint and explore fresh, new beginnings in my work.
Color & Mediums
Learn how to prepare your palette using acrylic inks to achieve watercolor-like effects, and explore creative layering techniques with inks and masking fluid, no drawing needed.
Understanding Acrylic Inks
Ingrid guides you through a set of structured exercises, including Four Mini Projects to help you experiment with ink behavior and layering techniques.
Layering with Inks
Paint two small crocus pieces while exploring texture, layering, and backgrounds to create contrasting moods... bright as day, deep as night.
Inks & Masking Fluid
Bring everything together in a larger, expressive floral piece. You’ll combine masking fluid and layered ink washes to create vibrant textures and intuitive flow in your final artwork.
Bonus: Colorful Waves
Enjoy a short, meditative video of Colorful Waves.Using simple lines and gentle layers of ink, this video is not a tutorial, but a peaceful visual pause to spark inspiration and creative connection.
