Intro to Acrylic Markers: Colourful Patterns with Emilie (Online)

In this class, Emilie will teach you how to design colourful patterns using acrylic posca markers. Posca are paint markers that create beautiful smooth surfaces that give striking results for pattern design. Fill some notebooks with mini patterns and test out all the combinations of colour and shapes your imagination can think of! And enjoy this relaxing and mindful colouring art practice! 

Emilie will guide you through choosing your colour palettes, designing simple floral patterns and starting a notebook full of colours inspired by your everyday life.
