Starting to feel festive? Artist Kelly Kruse brings us this wonderful workshop demonstrating how make Christmas ornaments using Daler-Rowney FW inks. It'll make your Christmas decor stand out that little bit more this year. Enjoy!
Kelly Kruse uses her work to explore the painful, beautiful experience of human longing and suffering. She developed a visual devotional practice as a response to her battle with depression, through which she wrestles with beauty, longing, and God. Kruse describes her work as contemporary illumination. Like the medieval monks who perfected the art of illuminated manuscripts, she seeks to awake in the viewer a sense of spiritual contemplation.
Her first exposure to the idea of illumination came when she studied Medieval and Renaissance music in Italy. Her background in classical music and opera puts her in a unique position to explore the intersection between scripture, poetry, musical works, and the visual arts. In addition to her artistic practice, she works as a music educator in the KC metro area.
Daler-Rowney FW Acrylic Artist Ink is an acrylic-based pigmented ink that is water-resistant on most surfaces. All colours have a three- or four-star rating for permanence, meaning that they can be used for permanent display. As well as using them in their raw state, you can dilute them to create subtle washes to which you can then add further layers. They're Available in bottles of 29.5ml (with a dispensing lid) or 180ml (with easy pour application lid).
