Myke Chambers: The Basics of Traditional Tattoo Watercoloring

Sunday October 14- 12:00pm - 2:00pm

“I’ve been asked in the past to do seminars on tattooing but i’ve always turned down the offers. I mean, what would I teach it on? How to pull a straight line and pack solid color? And then call it “things you should know already but don’t”? Nope. The questions I get asked the most are about painting with watercolor so I thought this would be a good seminar as you don’t see it offered often. Watercoloring isn’t as easy as it might look…well, I take that back, if you know a few simple tricks it’s actually pretty easy. After you get the basics down it’s only a matter of practice and patience. With this seminar i’m offering you the basics that will set you on your path…nothing too technical…keep it simple stupid” -Myke Chambers

Topics Covered: -Brushes -Paper/wood/board -Paint (watercolor verses liquid acrylic) -Spit shading -Staining -Sealing.
