How To Use Alcohol Ink Like A Pro

By Henry Kelly


Some people produce excellent results on canvas using alcohol ink. Others seem to struggle at every stage. This ink is preferred because it does not include the distasteful acid. This helps it to produce some of the best details in painting. The challenge for upcoming and experienced painters is how to use alcohol ink and produce perfect images. Here is a guide by experienced painters on how to produce these magical results.

Buy quality ink to start with. The fact that it is available on the shelves or in a bottle is not an assurance of quality. Consult experienced painters to get guidance on the best brands in the market. You could also buy smaller packets and test whether the results produced are desirable. Reviews will also help you avoid disappointment.

The blending solutions must also be quality. Ink requires blending to achieve different textures and shades. Poor quality blending solutions will damage the best ink. Check whether manufacturers of ink have guided you on the blending solution to use. Instructions on blending as provided by manufacturers must also be followed.

The quality and performance of your colors will also depend on canvas chosen. Canvases absorb ink which determines the results of your painting work. When quality canvas is used, your ink will also produce better results. There is a professional way of treating canvases before painting. This treatment forms an important part of producing incredible images.

You will need a pencil for the outline. Painting is a complex activity that requires detailed planning. Part of this planning is creating an outline that will guide your brushes. It is a waste of time and resources to make mistakes on the canvas and throw it away or have to repeat your work. The ultimate outcome of your project will also not be achieved. You should target to paint once in order to achieve a neat image.

Quality brushes also contribute to producing an excellent painting. The accessories used like brushes and canvas affect your painting job. Brushes, for instance come in different styles. Some are bold while others are thin. A good texture and expected results depend on choices made on brushes. Choose brushes that are comfortable to hold so that you can paint with ease. They should also allow you to paint continuously without fatigue. Fatigue will reduce the quality of your work.

Engage an experienced painter when buying and using different types of ink and painting accessories. Through their experience, you will know what to expect from different brands of ink and accessories. You will also learn tricks that can only be mastered through experience. Experienced painters also point at mistakes you should avoid in your painting job. This helps you to produce better quality work faster without waiting for years of experience to learn by your own mistakes.

Do not be in a hurry to produce excellent results with your work. It takes time and a lot of practice to produce good results when painting. You will also know the ink or accessories to choose for different results over time. Therefore, be patient with your painting art and learn from the mistakes you have made to improve on quality of your future work.
