- Abstract alcohol ink tutorial using Ranger colors Teakwood and Stream, and Pinata metallic Brass. I used 91% isopropyl alcohol and 9 inch x 12 inch Grafix opaque white craft plastic. I also use a Revlon brush style hair dryer (on the cool setting) with the brush attachment removed to move the ink.

It's comforting when you say that you used to feel like you were chucking it because you can't get it. I'd be very very happy to get what you think are not done or look bad to you and I'd be THRILLED to have it like that LOL
So the secret is layers, patience & moving your air source ... & taking chances! Fabulous result!
lol Patience may be the number one secret (along with lots of practice). I am glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you for the comment!
You have a great sense of people’s needs. Thank you.
‘Don’t ever feel like you come up short to someone else’s art’
That is beautiful and wise advise!
Shannon J 💜 It’s too bad that it is such difficult advice for all of us to follow, myself included! Lol I still fall into that trap of wishing mine would turn out like “theirs” instead of loving it for what it is and being happy about its originality. Thank you for the compliment! 💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer I understand what your saying, I've been there with Watercolor painting. No one finds mistakes on our art but us (as in the artist). This is Breathtaking Beautiful and your not even done yet. When do you put the Stream ink in?
😃 You have probably finished watching the video by now and don’t need an answer to when I put the stream color in lol. It’s difficult for me to find time to respond to comments quickly sometimes. If you still have questions about it, just let me know! 💜💜
Beautiful! I’ve just started playing with alcohol inks and realise that I’ve been way too heavy handed. I love the wispy look of this piece and am amazed how little coloured ink you actually use. Thank you for sharing your technique ☺️
You are so right. I thought the same way about not ever being good enough, and not wanting anyone to see my stuff. Then, unbeknownst to me, my husband put some of my paintings up for sale on eBay, and something that I didn’t even like, sold! I couldn’t believe it. Somebody actually liked my stuff enough to pay for it! So, now I just do for me to let that creative whatever out, and who cares if anyone else likes it! I love your painting. I’m new to alcohol inks, so when I saw your tutorial, I had to watch, but your encouragement is just fantastic! Thank you so much! ( P.S. - I’m not a flower girl either.)
Isn't it funny how the things we create that we like the least are often the very things that other people think are amazing?! I am so thrilled for you that you are just being happy and creating the way you want to. That's the place that we all need to get to! 💜💜
Finally, I found my teacher. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've only watched 18 mins so far, but I now know 180% more than I did before. I'm excited to use what I've learned so far on paper!
Trisha Deboer 😊 Thank you for that lovely comment! I hope the videos continue to be helpful to you! 💜💜
I love your work. I’m a beginner in alcohol inks and find your tutorials are very informative and easy to follow. I also appreciate you providing the links for the materials needed.
Just watched this, very useful and informative. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and be so generous. I love this painting! And it is not easy, gosh I am practicing since several weeks… I’ll get there soon I hope. 😉
Hey Lorrie! Hope you’re well. When you said that if you look at your work and hate it, there will be someone else that’ll love it. Also, you said, don’t judge your work with someone else’s, is exactly what I needed to hear! Thanks, also this piece is beautiful!
Thank you on all counts! That's actually some advice I need to re-mention for some. Too many people are getting frustrated because their paintings aren't coming out like mine. I have to remind myself of that occasionally, too! 💜💜
The fascinating thing is that your authentic personality really comes to light by your art. Those mistakes you were talking about, are wonderful and show the real you behind that work. I truly love that piece and appreciate your honesty !
😊 Thank you so much! This comment means a lot to me because I have been told that I should stop pointing out and apologizing for my mistakes. My personal feeling is that every single artist throughout history made mistakes and had screw ups throughout their careers lol. We just only see the perfection in what most create because they don’t want to share the “not so perfect”. For me, personally, that just makes me feel like a failure and that I’ll never be good like that. It makes mistakes seem so much worse and more frustrating to me. I don’t ever want people to see me or my work as perfect. Lol Neither one are! I think sharing some of my own struggles helps keep all of you from feeling like giving up if you can’t get it the way you want it fast enough. I am so touched that you took the time to mention how much you appreciate the way I do my videos! Lol I just try to be me, whether good or bad that day 😃💜
Thank you so much for your response ! Exactly ! That’s how I feel about that too. Whenever I watch videos or tutorials about that, I feel like I‘m doing everything wrong, since I do exactly what those people do, but my paintings don’t come out the way theirs do. At some point it get‘s really frustrating. If you wouldn’t have pointed out those mistakes, I would’ve probably thought, that this was your goal and that your painting came out the way you wanted it to, because to be honest; in my opinion it’s perfect. Also when you say things like “sometimes it doesn’t come out the way you want it and the paint does what it wants“ or “don’t give up if it doesn’t work out the first time“ it really means a lot to me, because sometimes I‘m really about to give up on that, but your words and your beautiful paintings give me the strength to keep continuing ❤️
💜 I can’t tell you how much that means to me! Teaching people how to do this is important to me, but keeping people inspired and helping them to not give up is just as important. Both of your comments have meant more to me than I can say! Believe it or not, comments like yours are what keep ME inspired to keep on doing videos! Thank you!!! 💜😊
I just got supplies to start experimenting with Ranger alcohol inks… this was fun to watch and helpful! Beautiful piece. Thank you 💜
Thank you for sharing your insights about the creative process and our perceptions of our work. It applies to all types of art, for sure.
Thanks for the info on Hair blower. I appreciate your generosity of information and time. I will be replaying this video to make note of the information given. So glad I found your videos! This artwork is gorgeous!
Beautiful, love it … I think it’s really sweet and kind of you to offer to help others and to offer to share things you’ve learnt from all of the hard work , time and money you’ve put into your art , so I really appreciate that. I’m only just getting into this ,I have a lot to learn so I’m hoping you don’t regret offering help 😉
This is beautiful and I'm so grateful for your detailed instruction -- I'm one of those who bought the alcohol inks and tried to make something pretty and ended up giving up. This makes me want to try again.
I’m feeling the same way, Beverly. I just stumbled across Lorrie’s video, and I may just give it another try. This is such a lovely painting!
Thank you so much to both of you! Knowing that someone has been inspired to try, or to keep trying, is one of the main things that keeps me making my videos. I am honored to be a part of your alcohol ink journey! 💜💜
Thank you, just started experimenting with alcohol inks and so glad I found your page. Great real time and explaining techniques I will practice.
I love your "mistake" I want to try to make one just like it. Your instruction is so helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!! I'm getting ready to try this medium.
Absolutely love this painting. Thank you for sharing your tips, your style, etc. with us! MUCH appreciated!!
Thank you so much! I am glad it has been helpful to you!
I have watched a couple of your videos & I am new to alcohol ink mediums. I really appreciate the info you provide. Your turorials/videos are detailed & it's your artwork that drew me in. I appreciate the explanations & I've learned what I've needed to finish a complicated project I've been working/playing on. :-) your painting reminds me of the sand limestone here in So CA & the deep ocean crevices were the water flows through & you can view the magic deep within them. You are AMAZING! Thank you!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! I have sadly never made it down south in CA. Sacramento is as far as I have gotten. From the pictures I have seen, it is without a doubt a place I need to go one of these days.
Maam. your voice is as beautiful as your art, this video and your narration could be a video podcast, it feels so relaxing!!!
Thank you so much 🙂! That is a wonderful compliment! 💜💜
Loved watching this ,and hearing a fellow Southerner do art.
Wow! Amazing... Think I'll call it "heaven & earth"... Stunning metallic effect. Well done
So very generous of you to share your expertise and skill. Love from Amanda UK
This is by far my favourite. I have been struggling, trying to get something that even remotely resembles this. Nope, not happening, not so far at least. I am one of the whispy flower people. When I started, I used canned air. That stuff is very expensive. I quickly got a little tiny airbrush and use that for all of my flowers. But........tomorrow I will make you a flower with my hair dryer, same one that you have. I'm tempted to start now but my art room is beside our bedroom and hubby works in the morning. Stay tuned. Oh yes, I wanted to say that I agree with you about Janette Vivo's work. She taught me how to make my flowers pop with her beautiful centres.
Yes, Jeanette Vivo’s flowers are some of the best and prettiest that I have seen. Maybe one of these days I’ll give them a try. I hate to hear that you are struggling so much with the wispy. Sometimes it is good to step away and try something else to help build some confidence in your abilities back up. You can always come back to wispy later. I hope you don’t give up on it though! If you ever want to send me a short video of how you are painting the wispy ones I will be glad to see if I can spot something that might help you out a little. I hope I don’t lose you on here! You’ve been with me since near the beginning 😃. Thank you for hanging in there with me for so long! 💜
You're cute. And I do enjoy watching you explain your process. It's good to hear I'm not the only one with some of these problems. Sometimes I think who can I give all my supplies to!
lol I still have days when I think about giving it up. It's the most frustrating fun you'll every have 😂. I do love painting like this and you will to! Just hang in there and don't give up! 💜💜
I’d buy this all day long
I’d change my whole house for this one ☝️. 4sure.
Be safe and God bless you and yours
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have been following the acrylic pouring artists and was going to try that and then about three days ago one of the ladies i watch called Saskia Smit was doing some Alcohol Panting and doing a flower. I was completely fascinated and wanted to find out as much as possible. I have watched many Alcohol art for beginners and have been left frustrated and right before seeing your ended up watching a man whose video was 35+ minutes long. He used a 'puffer' to move the ink about and i thought it looked awful and he kept wiping it off and then repeating the same thing again! After 20 minutes i had a headache and decided to look at something else and thank god i did. I have learned more from you on watching this video than i have in the last three days with anybody else. I am IN LOVE with this piece. It is more like i would love to do. Part of my reason for wanting to do something like this is that i am a disabled Nurse and am now stuck mostly indoors but i love to create. I also want to get new furniture in a Blush Pink velvet and my main wall id antique gold wallpaper, stunning. I want to do a large piece for that wall. I have now subscribed to you and will be watching as much of you as i can. I live in the UK so we are back into lockdown so i will have to source things via Amazon. Can you tell me what type of paper you are using please and can you get large pieces. Of course i will do lots of practice but that is my end goal. I can't wait now to see more of your creations. No doubt i will be in touch via your email after i watch some more. Thank you so much for your expertise and time. From a much appreciative lady in the UK. Stay well and stay safe. Shirley. X
😊 I am so glad you are finding my videos helpful to you! You are right about it taking a lot of practice. I am glad you realize that from the start because too many people go into this thinking they will be turning out masterpieces within their first few tries. For paper I use Grafix opaque white craft plastic, yupo by Legion, or NARA synthetic art paper. You can usually find all of these on Amazon in a few sizes. Yupo can be ordered in large rolls to cut off your own sizes, but I have never ordered it like that personally, so I don’t know how difficult it is to get the yupo to flatten out before you can paint on it. I don’t know if you can order from this place in the UK, but I get yupo and Grafix in large sheets from www.jerrysartarama.com/. It might be worth checking to see if you can get items from there delivered in the UK. Good luck as you start out with this! I hope you end up loving it as much as I do. Just don’t get too frustrated in the beginning as you are learning to control the inks. Above all remember to have fun with it! 💜💜
Beautiful it reminds me of a lightning strike. I'd love to learn to do this now that I am retired. You are a great teacher I will be following you your explanations are Very good. Linda agents
😊 Thank you very much! This is a lot of fun to do and very addictive lol. I hope you end up loving it as much as I do! 💜💜
I just started alcohol ink. I watched this video, and your words ring so true!😊✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Thank you Lorrie, I needed the words oof encouragement! I'm a bit nontraditional and struggle to find someone who teaches that way. Thank you, thank you!
You are most welcome and thank you for such a wonderful comment! I am just myself when I do these videos, so I love hearing that it works for you. I have had a few people who just don’t seem to like that lol.
I just found you! I'm so happy. I have a feeling I'll be binge watching your videos. This piece is just the type of alcohol ink art I want to do. Gorgeous!!
😃 Thank you! I am happy to have you here! I am always happy to try to answer any questions you may have if you are having trouble with something 💜💜
I love this video and have learned a lot from it. I'm new to alcohol inks and can see a lot of where I've been going wrong - which doesn't mean from here on I'll be going right! It's a beautiful art but, I think, one of the hardest to learn to control. One of my other hobbies, which I'm not good at but enjoy splashing around at, is watercolour painting and a huge problem I had was watching speeded up demos - my brain insisted I should be painting at that speed; I'm sure you can imagine the result! - so I'm always pleased to find really good demos like this, at 1:1 speed and with great explanations. Thank you Lorrie.
Thank you for the lovely comment! I am glad you enjoyed the video. I totally agree about how watching sped up videos makes you feel you should be doing it much faster. That’s one reason I try to keep most of mine at regular speed unless they just get way too long. I’ll be back to posting some new videos very soon!
{ really like your style- i feel like its what i want to try to learn as I love the veining and marble like work God put in nature- thank you for teaching us!!!
Só wonderful. Thanks for having the whole video in normal speed. Very helpful ❤️
Thank you, thank you. Your art is beautiful, and your wealth of knowledge is unlimited. I really appreciate you going through the trouble of explaining everything.
😊 What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much! I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you. I am still playing catch-up on messages from a majorly stressful and crazy several months. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! 💜💜
Honestly I’ve watched others for years is the best you share a lot of information good information and you do such beautiful work and thank you for the encouragement to
Thank you for your encouragement and the advice to be more accepting of ourselves and our own vision. It's so important to not stop practicing; good thing this is so much fun!
You are so welcome! And you are so right about how much fun it is! If you have that attitude about painting like this, then you are going to be great at it 😊. I think that you have to love what you are doing to really turn out good work. Keep it up! 💜💜
I think this is the most beautiful alcohol painting I have seen!
😊 Thank you for that lovely compliment! 💜💜
Whatever you intended it to be, I’m finding it absolutely gorgeous! 💕
Thank you so much!
I would like to thank you so much for the time you have given and the humility you have offered to share your techniques with others. You have awakened an artist in me and I can't wait to continue building on this inspiration I have gained from you. Thank you and blessings :)
Thank you so very much for that wonderful comment! Knowing that someone has been inspired to create art from something they saw or heard in my videos is the absolute best compliment that I could ever get. I truly hope you love your journey with alcohol inks as much as I have! Much love to you! 💜💜
Hey what's the name of the paper using ?
Absolutely stunning. I love your instruction. It has helped so me much. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Lorrie. I'm so thrilled to have found your channel. I only discovered Alcohol Ink Art yesterday and I'm in love with it. I have not got any ink or materials yet so haven't actually tried any, but I plan to soon. Lately i've been trying my hand at drawing and watching a lot of UA-cam videos trying to learn. The point of mentioning that is due to you saying in this video you first thought nobody wanted longer video's that explained everything. So glad you learned otherwise. I've struggled to find drawing tutorials. Mostly they title them: How to draw (insert a word) but the whole video is sped up and there is no instruction or tips. You can't learn from that. I look forward to watching all your video's and trying this amazing and fun art form.
Thank you for your comment! It’s always nice to hear from people who are happy with the videos. I still try to keep them as short as I can, but I agree with you. It’s not a tutorial if it’s sped up to 10 minutes or less with no instructions on how to do it. I hope you are getting all the information you need to get started with this art form!
Amazing painting. Love those colours. I like the longer videos with the explanations. Thanks 💕
This is gorgeous Lorrie - maybe not what you were hoping for, but - beautiful to me!
😊 Thank you! It has turned out to be one of my most popular ones lol. 💜💜
G'Day Lorrie from Australia l Absolutely Love Your Channel and l've Subscribed
And I'm quickly reminded why Lorrie Brewer is the goddess of alcohol inks! This is spectacular!! I always say "I meant to do that" with AIs, but you actually meant it! I really love this - and your whole style. You're just amazing my dear friend! 😍❤
Awww 😊! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Katherine! You are so sweet and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support! I love your creativity with your AI’s. You are more creative with your shapes and compositions than I am! Your continuing support of me and my work means the world to me! 💜
Thank you for all your help. I love watching your videos and am learning so much!
Thank you so much! I have all I need to start..but I’m shy to start.. gearing up 😆... your teaching gives SO MUCH helpful information...🌷
Thank you so much for the "for beginners" tips. Just starting to try my hand at this.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment! 😊💜
That was fantastic, thank you for taking the time to explain it all,I’m new at this so your video has helped me so much.😃😃
Newbie here! Learned so much from watching your technique and helpful commentary! I've been using too much ink in a small space [4x4 tiles] and trying to manage that!! Love the wispy effect!
This is absolutely perfectly gorgeous!!!! Like a beautiful color explosion coming from a crack in space.....LOVE THIS!!! I'm just starting out...still not able to find the right alcohol...but I've gone through teaching myself to draw in my early 40's, then acrylics and watercolor...all things I still love for sure....but there's something about how these inks move and softly fold over themselves with soft and hard lines that I've fallen in love with...so I'm excited to learn and you're a great teach and much appreciated!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Such a lovely inspirational person! Appreciate your videos so much this is fantastic!!
It looks like a Butterfly. This is the first time watching you. You just happen to pop up on my screen😊❣ Sandy Allnock does Beautiful work. She also does Watercolor painting, copic Alcohol Marker Coloring and puts them as Cards. Also Jennifer McGuire does Beautiful work with Alcohol ink link your doing😊🥰❤❣ I'm enjoying your tutorial..
😃 I have watched some of both of their videos. They both do beautiful work! I hope you are finding mine informative as well! 💜💜
The best ticher! Now i am realy understand,how make soft line. Many Many Thanks! 🌹🌹🌹
You are welcome 😊! I am very glad this video was helpful to you! 💜💜
I am about to start out and admire how you can work on your painting while giving us advice on how to put the ink and alcohol down and still seem to concentrate on your own work. I love your work. Thank you so much for giving us so many tips on how to d and what to avoid and how to try and fix mistakes. Thank you so much.
You make the best videos. I got the hairdryer and it finally works the way I was wanting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so candid.
Just got my Piñata Brass this evening, yay! Now I’m going to binge on your vids tonite! 🥰
I hope you have tried your brass and are happy with how it’s working for you! 💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer Yes, it is gorgeous! I have played with it a little. I have been so busy trying to finish beautifying the yard. Today my parrot’s groomer came by to trim her nails. He brought two of his big Macaws! I love it when he brings some of his flock over. My little Ivy, a Quaker parrot, was so tiny compared to the macaws. One of them I got to hold the snuggle the whole time. I would adopt that one any day! It never bites and loves snuggles and kisses. It is quite an experience! Ivy’s groomer rescues parrot’s, and has a large flock. So I have the great luck to play with his birds when he comes by. Anyway, now that Ivy is trimmed and I found out it is hormone season, which explains her mood swings! She just turned 2 and this is her first season. She may never lay an egg, but boy has she been cranky! Lol
Helicopter pilots would prob be good at this technique, I bet. Lorrie I think it’s gorgeous👍 and thanks for sharing your attention to detail.
😊 Thank you! I hope the videos are helping you learn these techniques! 💜💜
I think I just found the best tutorial for alcohol ink! Thank you!
😊 Thank you so very much for that wonderful compliment! I hope you can get some useful information for your inking among all my rambling lol. 💜💜
Lorrie, you are such a gem! It is entirely true, the timelapse videos are amazing, but almost entirely useless to learn from. This is so so helpful.
Also, I really struggled to get the look I wanted with different means and then got a hairdryer like yours and just like that it started to turn out as I wanted. Thanks a million and keep the great content coming!
😊 Thank you for the wonderful comment! It means so much to me to hear that people are learning and improving from watching my videos! Don’t forget that I am happy to answer any questions you may have if you are having trouble with something 😃💜
@@LorrieBrewer Yes actually. Do you have any tips and tricks how to get the ink to form a line in the centre (like in this one)? Mine always ends up in larger-growing ugly blobs...
MmeNemours One of the biggest reasons for that is using too much ink. That was one of the hardest things for me to stop doing and I still do it sometimes lol. If you are using a metallic like Piñata brass that makes it even harder to not have that “blob” in the middle. Try practicing with just one drop of ink and wisping it out as much as you can before adding another drop of ink. That really helped me when I was getting started. Also, try practicing without the metallic. I had to actually quit using it for a while until I could get the hang of the ink by itself, then start working on how to use the metallic with it. I hope this helps some! Let me know if you are still having problems! 😃💜
@@LorrieBrewer that's excellent input, thank you so much!
It's working! It wasn't too much ink, I made sure to only use a little drop as you advise. I used too little alcohol and on the way to the centre it evaporated too much and got all squiggly. Then I rewatched a few of your vids and you mention you use almost your entire bottle on a project and now it works. Thank you so much!
Love, love, love the wispy look. Your video is so helpful. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I am glad it was helpful to you!
So generous of you to share these amazing skills. Thank you!
It is my pleasure to share with all of you! I hope you are getting plenty of useful information from the videos! 💜😊
So beautifull and elegant work 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for your advise . Glad that I chanced upon your video
Thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment! I hope you got some useful tips and information from the video! 💜💜
That is fabulous! You are so talented!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
First time seeing one of your videos...........great video and explanations!!!! Love your soft and soothing voice as well!!! Will be watching more of your videos. I'm just starting out, so any information is great. I'm subscribed now so I won't miss any new videos. THANK YOU!
Breathtaking! Thank you for taking us all the way through the process!
You are so welcome! And thank you, I appreciate the compliment!
I loved it! It looked like a fish to me since the beginning! I' would have followed with that idea, but you are the artist not me! Now I am expecting how it ends up beautifully! Thank you for the awsome class! Hugs from Querétaro. Mexico
Lol I am always seeing all kind of different things in the paintings as I work on them. It’s always interesting to hear what other people see in them, too. Hi back to Mexico from Richland, Washington in the US! Vera Cruz is the only place in Mexico I have gotten to go. Maybe one day I’ll get to see more of it! 😊💜
Thank you for sharing. Amazing! The ink does have a mind of its own. The colors go well together.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind comment! 😊💜
Hello from Western PA! This is my first time watching one of your videos and I have to say that, not only did I enjoy watching you create your work, but I very much enjoyed your words of wisdom. While I have been doing fluid art for almost 2 years now and there are so many more people getting into these techniques (especially since covid hit). Whether it's acrylic, resin or alcohol inks, I often see the new artists get flustered because they aren't "as good" as others. I am constantly trying to tell them that we all had to learn, still continue to learn, and that everyone's art is (and should be) different! That's what makes it great! Being your own expression of art to the world. Your positive words to other artists is awesome. 🥰 Couldn't agree with you more. And thank you so much for taking the time to talk us "newbies" of alcohol ink and explaining some of your trials and errors. Much appreciated! I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more from you! Be well! ❤️
😊 Thank you so very much for that wonderful comment! I so agree with you about wanting to remind people that we were all beginners at one time and even now I still mess up and have paintings that I think are terrible. I can't remember if I said it on this video or a different one, but I am always trying to remind people that we are our own worst critics, too. I am much harder on myself simply because I knew what I had in mind to start with. No one else could see my original "vision" for a painting so they don't see all the "mistakes" that I see lol. You sound like you have a wonderful head on your shoulders and a wonderful heart for art! Keep it up and always keep learning! 💜💜
@@LorrieBrewer couldn't agree with you more. I say the exact same thing! And thank you for the compliment! The feeling is mutual! ❤️
What a gorgeous piece....I have just started with alcohol inks too, and your advice is well taken. Thank You for all your help. I get ruined it...I do Acrylic Pours and I tend to knick pick at the end of a Dutch pour, so I fiddle with it and end up doing it over.
Very impressive! And thank you so much for sharing so many tips and advice for artists starting out.
Thank you for the details in this video of how you created this beautiful piece. I am new to alcohol ink painting and, I appreciate the tips and tricks you discussed - a tremendous help for me.
😃 I am glad it has helped you some! If you are brand new, you might want to watch video 19. It is just a straight up tutorial showing tips for some of the most frequent problems people have asked me about. I don’t do a full painting in it, just demonstrate some, but it might give you some more tips to keep in mind. 😃 Thank you for watching! 💜💙
@@LorrieBrewer watching it now.
I have been doing Acrylic Abstract paintings for over a year...LOL, I find that SO much easier than Alcohol Inks. I feel like a failure when I see all these gorgeous works of art. Mine look awful! Have tried my airbrush (not a good idea), the rocket bulb (I like it, but still could not get it looking great), and the hair dryer (which I have been using wrong). After watching you today, it gives me the inspiration to try again. Thank You
Thank you thank you for explaining why you gets those flaky speckle bits. I just started using the ink and this happened to me and sis to know why. Now I can re-watch your video for the excellent instructions you give. And most of all your art work is beautiful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Loved your vedio, your tips were great, I am inspired will surely try my hands on alcohol ink
Thank you! It's a fantastic medium to play around with. I hope you decide to give it a try!
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to show every step of the way and offer words of encouragement as you go! You are awesome!
Thank you so much! I hope you are learning some useful tips and techniques from the videos! 😊💜
OMG.....This is absolutely stunning!!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the compliment! 😊💜
So beautiful loved watching this and I would love to try doing it
Thank you very much! Personally, I think everyone should try it lol. It’s a very satisfying (although sometimes frustrating lol) form of art.
You taught me a lot in this video and I am thankful for that and your kindness.
😊 Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful to you! 💜💜
Just so gorgeous thank you for sharing this with me
Be safe and God bless you and yours
Thanks for the video. I love watching you work.
You are right. I tried inks many years ago, but nothing to help me. Just found all these lovely videos now, so inks dusted off, and I’m ready to roll😊. Thanks.
I love it! It looks like a dolphin! Beautiful!
Thank you! I love hearing what people see in the paintings. It’s always fun to know if they see different images than I do! One of my granddaughters had seen the dolphin in this one, too 😃
Awe!! Thank you for your amazing tutorial and the encouragement. I just bought some alcohol inks and I’m scared to death to try them. Your giving me the confidence I need. Thank you, and I love your accent.
Thank you soo much that is beautiful! I also love how you explain things, and even willing to help! You go back to the beginning and how you've learned as you went along. I just started alcohol inks and I absolutely love it but it can be a little frustrating when it's not turning out right, feeling like I should just give up, like you said you felt at times. Thank you soo much again, you've given me hope, and your work is beautiful....
Thank you I am Inspired! I watercolor and frequently 'worry' my paintings till I ruin them too! :)
Wow, that's amazing, thank you. All the best from Scotland
My thanks for the compliment! Scotland is on my bucket list of place to visit. I am even one of those rare people who loves bagpipe music lol. Sending well wishes back to you in Scotland! 💜💜
Beautiful and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing! 👍💓
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for sharing about using the curling iron.I’ve been searching online trying to find just the right one and when you said that I thought to myself I’ve got one,haven’t used it in a while but it still works thank you very much. I loved your video, and I’m definitely going to give it a try. I’m just getting started with this sort of painting, actually this is the only kind of painting I’ve tried so far!
That's beautiful!
Beautiful. Reminds me of earth elements.
I just found your channel and I am obsessed with everything you make. It's so beautiful and I can't wait to get started myself. Thank you!!!

This is really lovely. it has inspired me to try Alcohol ink art. Thank you
Thanks so much! I love hearing that something I have done has inspired someone to try it! I really love it, even when I get frustrated with my inks for not cooperating lol. I hope you do give it a try and love doing it as much as I do! 💜💜
