Hacks On Learning How To Use Alcohol Ink

By Betty Young


As a progressive human being, you are always looking for ways to elevate yourself and become a better person and have more skills and tastes. Painting is one of the most satisfying hobbies you could ever find. It might sound hard and challenging if you do not consider yourself artistic, but you could always learn how to use alcohol ink attending some classes.

The reason this ink has become so popular is that it is a wonderful, acid-free painting medium. You can use it to produce amazing abstract collages and even more intricate art pieces. There are numerous ways you could work it. If you have obtained appropriate materials, you are going to greatly enjoy this. In fact, you will master the craft much faster than you think.

The first step you need to take is to buy the medium. You can buy it from a local store or even online. Some types come in kits having complementary colors that look amazing when you work them together. When out there, ask yourself how well the hues you are considering mix and blend to create a pleasing effect. You might want to read up on this before buying.

Then, you need to obtain a blending solution. This serves the role of diluting paint so that it creates a unique effect when you drop it on top of your medium. It is not a must to use a blending solution, but using it enables you to invent more interesting artistic effects. You can also use the solution to clean off ink from your hands and brush.

You should have bought the material upon which you will start practicing. There are different kinds of materials, and their quality and pricing might differ. It is important to read about such and make a suitable choice. Yupo paper is a popular option, but you can also use metal, primed wood, glass, gloss paper, and ceramics among other kinds of surfaces.

Use a pencil or pen and trace out an outline of a preferred picture. Your picture could be a hill, a mountain, a flower and so on. Thinking too much is one of the biggest mistakes people learning this craft keep on making. Allow yourself the luxury of free imagination. Put some drops of your medium on paper, and then use your brush to soak it all up. Then, proceed to fill the outline.

The objective is to end up with an abstract creation. Freehand painting is what works best. This type of ink is the most suitable material if you want outstanding abstract art. Using different colors helps you produce different and exciting overall effects. For brooding artwork, use darker hues. If you wish to recreate a happier feeling, you should choose lighter options.

Pour a few drops of your ink onto the canvas. It forms a little pool you may manipulate. Using the tip of your brush and light strokes, spread it out. See how it bleeds and dissipates. Have more pools and repeat the process, noticing how they mix with one another. Apply your blending solution on it when the medium is still wet. You may also remove a color you do not like. Dry the work.
