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.
The entire ethos of working with such a medium in the first place can be attributed to one thing. Experimentation. The use of alcohol inks is ideal for those people who want to try new things, whether or not they re any good or not. All in the name of, that s right, experimentation.
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.
If the second option sounds better than the first that there s some good news. It s possible and doable to make your very own alcoholic ink solution to paint with. All that s needed is a couple of sharpies, rubbing alcohol, a glass jar some scissors, tweezers and something to work on.
It s also not only a great idea but wise a wise one to wear protective gear around your hands. Unless there s a strong prevailing attitude that it will ruin what is being created and your content with paint around your fingernails for the next 2 to 3 days. Not a train smash if you stay at home, different ball game when in a corporate venue on a Monday morning.
Another own related to the work area is keeping the area in which the inks will be based in. Prolonged exposure to the alcohol can mean bad news as it pollutes the air with toxic chemicals which, in the right conditions, mean respiratory problems like asthma and emphysema.
The other option, not as simple but still as effective. This is because the alternative involves making your own alcohol ink from scratch. There are plenty of tutorial videos to follow and use available on Youtube, as well as some websites that give detailed step by step instructions.
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.
