Alcohol Ink Master Class in Minsk — Abstract Art on Paper

Alcohol ink is a modern technique for creating airy, translucent abstracts that resemble flower petals, drifting smoke or a cross-section of stone.

We paint on special synthetic paper: the inks glide across it and blend into remarkable gradients as you push them around with a stream of air from a hairdryer.

The technique is deeply meditative. We add metallic pigments (gold, silver) to the inks so your painting catches the light.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price depends on the day of your visit and the number of guests. One guest: 150 BYN Mon–Thu and 180 BYN Fri–Sun. The larger the group, the lower the price per person, down to 105 BYN/person Mon–Thu for a group of 10 or more. The booking form works out the exact amount.
The class runs about 3 hours. We close the studio for your group alone — up to 16 people.
The artist will guide your hand and show you the angle to hold the dryer at to get the pattern you want.
The painting dries instantly, so you take it with you straight after the master class.
The standard format is 50×70 cm or a 40 cm round.
No, you take the work home unframed: a sheet of synthetic paper that is easy to frame at home behind glass or in a clip frame.
Alcohol-based inks dry in seconds and sit in translucent layers with crisp edges: the patterns resemble a slice of stone or smoke. Watercolour and fluid acrylic behave differently, with soft blurs and long drying times.
The inks contain alcohol and have a distinct scent, so we work in a well-ventilated studio. If you are sensitive to smells, tell us in advance and we will seat you by the window.
We finish each piece with a UV-protective varnish, but alcohol inks still dislike direct sunlight, like any work on paper. Bedrooms, studies and hallways are ideal: the colours will stay vivid for years.
