    I am a silk painter and we use alcohol, sizing and vodka mix to create some really cool textures on the silk. We use silk dyes in the CMYK color "palette".
    I've been a watercolorist for almost 25 years and painting on silk is almost exactly like watercolor! In fact, being a watercolorist has made me a better silk painter and vice versa!

    This would be amazing for water and beach components in a painting, and maybe even texture in a sky, especially with a loaded brush, wet on dry.
    *wanders off to try this technique*
    Thanks Julie.

    Great tip, would loved to see it when all dry later on..I bet this would be great for backgrounds too. You could also apply it in spots with a paintbrush or a qtip etc..play around, with 2 cents of alcohol!..love your attitude!

    To my knowledge the English watercolor artists in the 18th century used Gin to achieve effects. Maybe two effects: texture in the watercolor and a nice buzz. 😀 Of course the gin did not have the strength of rubbing alcohol, but you said, the strength doesn't really matter that much.

      Don't wait, do it now. I am relatively new to watercolor, about a year into it. I am 66 and really wish I had started sooner. This channel and a few others in you tube offer free tutorials. It seriously has changed my life. Good luck to you! Good paper is key!

    Julie, what happens when you paint over that application? I enjoy your tips!

    • @maryspringer1442
      @maryspringer1442 Рік тому

      Good question! I wonder if it being alcohol and that evaporates that it wouldn't move your paint around or cause blooming as it would be dry and evaporated. But if you tried to paint on it while still wet..perhaps something interesting..hmm now I want to try and find
      out! lol

    • @silverpromidi
      @silverpromidi Рік тому

      I'd have fun experimenting and find out 🙂

    • @juliedavis8957
      @juliedavis8957 Рік тому

      You will cancel the effect painting over it when wet. You can layer over this once it is completely dry. It’s beautiful… give it a try. Thanks for your questions! 😊 Julie

  • @tabbi888
    @tabbi888 Рік тому +1

    weird, I was just thinking I wonder what would happen if I experimented with alcohol, I wonder if it would work with brush techniques or maybe spraying on cling wrap ( seran wrap for American's) then applying to the watercolour. funny how I was thinking this ,then I turned on my phone and this appeared as the first suggestion on my UA-cam feed, maybe they can read minds now, ha ha.

  • @berolinastrassmann
    @berolinastrassmann Рік тому +1

    This was fantastic! Thanks. Will give it a try. Today, as a test. Would the alcohol influence the lightfastness of the paint?

    • @juliedavis8957
      @juliedavis8957 Рік тому +1

      No… lightfastness is solely determined by the pigment characteristics. Alcohol will play no part. Thanks for your question! ☺️ Julie

  • @adk9215
    @adk9215 Рік тому +1

    Is there a possibility that the alcohol could be inhaled while spraying? Is that safe?

    • @juliedavis8957
      @juliedavis8957 Рік тому

      Hey ADK… it evaporates very quickly. I would be surprised if there would be enough to do anything to someone. Thanks for your question… 😊 Julie

  • @darklittlepeople

    wouldn't plain water in a spray bottle do the same thing though ?

    • @juliedavis8957
      @juliedavis8957 Рік тому

      It does create a look that can be similar, but this can be much more dramatic. Thanks for your questions and for watching! 😊 Julie

    I want to point out that working with 50% alcohol does not work as well as 70% and 90%. Before I knew the strengths of alcohol I used 50% and was disappointed.
