This term refers to various techniques that have to do with working with paint in a liquid medium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text\">You will probably already be familiar with acrylic casting; if you would like to work with a new medium, until you are just right with Alcohol Inks. The highly pigmented alcohol-based inks can be gradually integrated into the work, in contrast to the <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/best-acrylic-paint\/\"><strong>acrylic paints <\/strong><\/a>that are usually applied at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text\">The alcohol also evaporates much faster, which means that the paints dry within a few minutes. <strong>Unlike acrylic paints, however, alcohol inks can be &#8220;revived&#8221;<\/strong>. This means that when dried ink comes into contact with fresh ink or pure alcohol, it reacts and can be further processed. In this way, different techniques are possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1033156\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art.jpg\" alt=\"alcohol ink art\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-art-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Supplies_do_I_need_for_Alcohol_Ink_Art\"><\/span>Which Supplies do I need for Alcohol Ink Art?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Working with alcohol inks is really easy because you don&#8217;t need many supplies to start with.

For instance, use alcohol ink to make beautiful backgrounds onto which you can add other effects. This is great for things like making cards or stamping. Also, you can draw more detailed images onto the created background. Remember, the paper is synthetic and will not absorb the inks.<\/p>\n<p>It gets creased relatively easily and should be touched as little as possible with the fingers (rubber gloves recommended) because of the repulsive effect of oil. Frisk produces sheets with 85 g\/m2 and 110 g\/m2, whereby 85 g\/m2 is usually sufficient for the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alcohol_Ink_Supplies\"><\/span>Alcohol Ink Supplies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3sXpPCW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Jacquard Alcohol Ink Set 24 colors<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ys4qqG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Tim Holtz Ranger Alcohol Ink Set Beach Deco Set<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2A550wz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Sharpie Permanent marker<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IPD8z7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Ranger Adirondack Blending Solution<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pMDSwr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Jacquard Pinata Alcohol Ink Extender<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2yxoojW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Isopropyl Alcohol 91%<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2A53SsM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Ranger Adirondack Blending Solution<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pNAtgJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Yupo paper for alcohol ink, 5 x 7 inch<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2A62Xs6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Yupo paper for alcohol ink, 11 x 14 inch<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2EbUec8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Tim Holtz Ranger Alcohol Ink mini blending tool<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"asa2_product_col_2 \">\n<div class=\"asa2_title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pOGutB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Drinking straws<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"asa2_product_col_2 \">\n<div class=\"asa2_title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2A4uD0H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-linktype=\"title\">Hair Dryer\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"asa2_product_col_2 \"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2RIiVzC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Nitrile Gloves<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pN9GkJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Varnish for Alcohol Ink paintings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Alcohol_Ink_%E2%80%93_Our_Easy_Painting_Tutorial\"><\/span>How to Use Alcohol Ink &#8211; Our Easy Painting Tutorial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So if you have the ink, alcohol or blending solution, and a painting surface, you can start experimenting. But how to use alcohol ink? If you buy DIN A4 sheets, it may be worthwhile to halve them first. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can also use the back; this leaves enough room for experiments.<\/p>\n<p>You can now put the ink directly on the synthetic paper and observe how the colors behave; you will see that a single drop spreads out in a circle. If you now add a drop of another color to the first circle, you will see how the new color spreads quickly and the first color displaces. If you drip next to a color, growing circles push into each other again and again.<\/p>\n<p>If you add a drop of alcohol to the colors, a colorless circle spreads out that also displaces the other colors. With this technique dark, partly shiny edges can be created, which provide beautiful contrasts. In this way, your first works of art are already created.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15187 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1.jpg\" alt=\"alcohol ink technique\" width=\"946\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1.jpg 946w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-300x72.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-768x184.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-610x146.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-30x7.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-75x18.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-110x26.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-160x38.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-500x120.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/alcohol_ink_arbeitsschritte1-480x115.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px\" \/><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">left: Single drops spread in a circle: Individual drops spread in a circle. middle: New colors displace the first drops. right: In the middle blue pigment spots can be seen.

In this way, you can also avoid hyperventilating after an hour because you are so enthusiastic about your work. A hair dryer is also a good choice.

The best and easiest choice would be rubbing alcohol. Now, rubbing alcohol comes in different percentages from 70 percent to 99 percent. However, some of the lower percentages may contain other unwanted substances and this could affect the outcome of your alcohol ink project.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, when working with a substance like alcohol, that the surrounding temperature can also affect the rate of evaporation. A popular choice is the 70 percent rubbing alcohol, however, depending on your experience and what you prefer to work with, the rubbing alcohol will be what you use to mix, dilute, and clean your inks with. Besides rubbing alcohol, many ink manufacturers provide a blending solution that is similar to Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) but contains additives to help improve the blending process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1033152\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques.jpg\" alt=\"alcohol ink techniques\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/alcohol-ink-techniques-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Note: Since rubbing alcohol is a volatile organic compound (VOC), when it evaporates it can cause headaches and some other health issues if you do not work with the substance properly.

Alcohol inks can be applied to different surfaces like ceramics, tiles, plastic, metal, glass, and more. Yupo paper is a popular choice when it comes to alcohol ink art as it is synthetic and waterproof, and it has a smooth non-porous surface. To create your art piece, various techniques can provide different results. Let us have a look at a few of these techniques.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drop_Technique\"><\/span>Drop Technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This uses a few drops of alcohol ink directly from the bottle. For example, have different colors ready and apply a few drops of each onto the Yupo paper. Tilt the paper in all directions so that the ink blends. It is important to note that alcohol ink does dry more slowly than your watercolors. You will find that the ink dries tacky to the touch in a few hours and completely dries in 24 hours. Or course, the drying time will depend on the surrounding temperature and humidity. The outer edges of the ink do tend to partially dry in a few minutes, which can add to the effect when dropping a color next to it or on top.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Select three alcohol inks you want to use<\/li>\n<li>Take some rubbing alcohol or blending solution and wet your Yupo paper. You can tilt the paper to make sure it spreads over the entire surface<\/li>\n<li>At random, apply a few drops of each color to the paper and tilt to spread. You can also use a small wooden stick to push the ink to the edges<\/li>\n<li>If there is too much excess, simply tilt it off onto some paper towel<\/li>\n<li>Once done, leave and allow to dry<\/li>\n<li>You will notice the colors will blend and settle as it dries<\/li>\n<li>Follow the same process without using the blending solution<\/li>\n<li>Do it again, this time use the blending solution and do not tilt the paper<\/li>\n<li>Again, this time with no blending solution and no tilting of the paper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1033148\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink.jpg\" alt=\"tim holtz alcohol ink\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_Brush_with_Alcohol_Ink\"><\/span>Using a Brush with Alcohol Ink<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Using a brush with alcohol inks also works well, you can use different types of brushes for various effects. Coarse brushes provide more texture, while a softer brush blends better and can produce finer details. A bigger, flat brush will work if you want a wash of color, the same as you would for a watercolor painting. When working with a brush, be careful because if the ink dries too quickly, it can leave brush strokes behind. \u00a0Also, if you work too slowly, the ink evaporates, and you are left with a patchy wash effect. Do not paint back into an area you have already covered; it is the same principle as with watercolors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1033149\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink.jpg\" alt=\"how to use alcohol ink\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-use-alcohol-ink-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Cotton_Buds\"><\/span>Using Cotton Buds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can use some cotton buds to achieve a smoother wash.

Create amazing abstract pieces for yourself or as gifts. You can use the tiles as coasters or simply display as art.<\/p>\n<p>Besides tiles you can also decorate dishes with Alcohol Inks &#8211; from plates, cups to vases everything is possible. The procedure here is the same as on Yupo paper, but the challenge lies in the mostly round shapes &#8211; here the colors sometimes run unexpectedly. Another possibility is the application of alcohol inks with an airbrush gun. This way a very specific application is possible and realistic pictures can be sprayed with it.<\/p>\n<p>To make the Alcohol Inks stick better, you can place the painted porcelain in the oven at 150 degrees Celsius for about half an hour. The colors will burn into the surface, the paint application will be more resistant. A dishwasher will damage the paint even after the paint has burned in, so hand washing is recommended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"How to make your own Alcohol Ink Mugs: Brighten up your morning coffee\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5WGPZ_j31HU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coloring_Epoxy_Resin_%E2%80%93_Resin_Petri_Dishes\"><\/span>Coloring Epoxy Resin &#8211; Resin Petri Dishes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Alcohol can be used to color <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/best-epoxy-resin\/\">epoxy resin<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; for example for <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/ebook-epoxy-resin-for-arts-and-crafts\/\"><strong>resin art.<\/strong><\/a> You can get a visually bombastic impression by filling silicone molds with crystal clear resin and then dripping Alcohol Ink colors directly into the resin.

If you are just entering into the crafting world, there are many low-cost ways to begin. You can easily use hardware items like washers, and then convert them into one of a kind jewelry pieces.

So, you must use these in a space with plenty of fresh air, keep windows open and maybe use a fan. For safety, always use a respirator mask and also use gloves to protect your skin. In cases where you will have to varnish your alcohol ink painting, you will need to use the mask again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Alcohol_Ink_something_you_can_use_on_a_Canvas\"><\/span>Is Alcohol Ink something you can use on a Canvas?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, once you know how to work with alcohol inks properly, it is an amazing medium to work with on canvas. You need to prime the canvas surface first, so that the inks can flow better. Other items like metal, plastic, and ceramics are non-porous. Since canvas is absorbent, and the alcohol inks work on a non-porous surface, the canvas needs to be prepared first.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Epoxy_Resin_be_Colored_with_Alcohol_Ink\"><\/span>Can Epoxy Resin be Colored with Alcohol Ink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, this is possible without any problems. After mixing resin and hardener you can add a few drops of Alcohol Ink. Alcohol Inks are even very well suited for coloring epoxy resin, because due to the transparency of the ink, you can see through the color.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_Make_Alcohol_Ink_yourself\"><\/span>Can you Make Alcohol Ink yourself?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Alcohol inks can be made by mixing printer ink with isopropanol. The mixing ratio is 2 parts printer ink with 1 part isopropanol. In this way you can make your own alcohol inks very cheaply.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Varnish_for_Alcohol_Ink\"><\/span>Which Varnish for Alcohol Ink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Alcohol inks are relatively light sensitive. Therefore you should always seal your finished works. The easiest way to do this is with a spray varnish, which protects your pictures from UV light and mechanical effects. For this purpose, a UV-protection is suitable for spraying. We can recommend either the Solo Goya painting varnish or Schmincke Universal varnish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Alcohol_Ink_Art_Work\"><\/span>How does Alcohol Ink Art Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Add some Blending Solution or Isopropanol to the Yupo paper. Now carefully drip the first few drops of Alcohol Ink on the paper. These drops will spread out in a circle. If you put another drop of another color in the first blob, it will spread and displace the first color in the middle. If you add another drop of paint next to the one already on the painting ground, you will displace the already applied paint.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Need_to_Seal_Alcohol_Ink\"><\/span>Do I Need to Seal Alcohol Ink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span id=\"progress-wrapper\" class=\"doc-finished\" data-status=\"0.16\">A coat or two of UV protectant can help to combat fading. But if applied directly over alcohol inks, the ink will activate and move around as it is drying. This means that a sealer should be used instead &#8211; one which won&#8217;t reactivate the ink during its process of curing on your fabric!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With this Alcohol Ink Art tutorial I want to familiarize you with the basics of the Alcohol Ink technique.

Whether through photography, sketching, writing and calligraphy, or expression through abstract art. Fluid Art is currently her favorite form of expression. What applies in photography to the principles of image composition and the interplay of colors can also be transferred to abstract art \u2013 with the loss of control \u2013 and that is what makes it special. Instagram captures the passion for visual art in a casual way. Time-lapse videos of Alcohol Ink art and Acrylic Pours can be found on YouTube.
