About this Event
Choose from a number of 5 beautiful, smooth basswood plaques engraved with Anfisa's original American Traditional tattoo style illustrations, then follow along as they walk participants through the basics of painting with alcohol inks using traditional "spit shading" techniques from the early days of tattooing. Spit shading has long been used amongst tattoo artists as a unique way to get smooth gradients on painted flash sheets, and translates well to many other substrates and projects!
