Soraya FrenchPSWA
works in all media and
is a regular contributor

a talk about the
properties of acrylic
inks and the variety of techniques possible
with this vibrant and versatile medium.
Soraya will also show you how to incorporate
the markers for useful linear marks. After a
demonstration that will cover as many
techniques as possible and touch on
composition, colour mixing, colour value,

FESTIVAL, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE JULY 11 TO 14, 2 019YOUR MATERIALS
Each student will receive, courtesy of Daler-Rowney, six 29.5ml bottles of FW Acrylic
Inks, an FW Marker Set and an A3 Aquafine Watercolour Pad, worth over £56(rrp).
FW Ink is an acrylic based, pigmented, water-resistant ink with a high degree of
lightfastness and intermixability, which can be used straight out of the dropper, or
diluted to achieve subtle tones, very similar in character to watercolour. They can be
applied using brushes, but also work well through
airbrushes, technical pens and paint markers. FW Markers
are ideal for use with FW Acrylic Ink; the empty
markers allow inks to
be applied with
precision across a
variety of surfaces.Vibrant Flowers in Acrylic Inks
