Spirit can be used for plenty of things, most notably, a Friday night that ends up as a Saturday morning filled with headaches, regrets but tons of memories to remember. But alcohol has other uses besides temporarily picking up the spirit such as being used as a cleaning agent and medicine. But one of liquids lesser known uses is as Alcohol Ink on Canvas.
For starters, what does ink made from alcohol? The simple answer to that question without getting too technical is describing them as solidly based dyes, which happen to be quick drying and acid-free. This type of substance is suited for different type of substances such as glass, metals non-porous plastics and are perfect for scrapbooking and other similar uses.
Because of the manner in which the ink is made up, it means that it s suitable to work on a number of different types of materials and textures from glass, gloss paper, metals and even fabrics. Basically anything you throw at it and it will stick.
The internet is a great way to grab inspiration on how things are done using this particular medium of painting. There are also plenty of videos showcasing how it can be used, which is great because it means less time can be spent trying to reinvent the wheel and more time drawing in some creativity.
Whether this product is brought or made there are a few things that need to be kept in mind and adhered to in order for the best user experience possible, the first is to ensure that the work space in which the ink will be utilized is prepared properly for the unfortunate but possible spill. A flick of a brush that s too strong or knocking over the paint entirely can result in a long and messy clean-up operation that could have easily been avoided.
There are two ways to about said fingernail excuse if the use of this specific product gets the creative motor running. The first option is to make a purchase of inks that are already made and ready to go from any online or art store that happens to stock them. The biggest benefit to this is instant gratification and satisfaction of buying something that can be used then and there.
With those concerns in check, time to pull out the penmanship and start drawing away. In pen/pencil first, as this makes it easier to outline what your drawing. When satisfied, the painting can begin, or for a more abstract look, toss out the pen and let the hand guide the paint on where it wants to go. This will give the painting an overall more abstract look compared to the first method.
As for the techniques and technicalities that come with painting, they all still apply as the only thing that s changed is the medium in which that paintbrush lands. So you shouldn t forget to rinse off the paintbrush if more than one color is being used in order to avoid making a mess of the colors and that one should paint using the whole entirety of the brush rather than 2 or 3 bristles that make it up. All of which should serve you well in painting with alcohol ink and making psychedelic like artwork.
