Have Fun Creating Beautiful Alcohol Ink Art

By Shirley Richardson


When a person allows themselves to be release their creativity, they experience physical health benefits and improved emotional clarity. It also boosts self esteem, provides feelings of accomplishment, and helps one to become calm and deal with anxiety and stress more effectively. A stunningly beautiful marbling effect with vibrant colors can be achieved with alcohol ink art.

This is a medium that dries fast, has no acid, and is suitable for practically any non-porous surface. The colors have a higher pigment count than usual, making them concentrated and very vibrant so that it only takes a little to do a lot. Many people in Phoenix, AZ are being inspired to give these products a try and to release their artistic creativity.

Stamp projects, paintings, and cards are just a few of the areas where the marbling methods for this medium can be used to generate great backgrounds. They are equally suited to creating stationary, wall hangings, tiles, jewelry, and more. So that the artistic energy is not interrupted, one should know which materials to gather and have on hand before getting started.

Of course, the primary item on the materials list is several inks, which are typically sold in 5 ounce size. The range of available colors and customizing pigments, along with metallic additives for a luminous or polished affect, is impressive. To make it easy even for a beginner to get great results, kits containing three well coordinated hues may be purchased.

A blending solution is also needed as it is very important to getting the right affect with this medium. This product is generally used to lighten or dilute certain areas of a piece in order for the artist to achieve their desired effect. It also serves the additional purpose of being the best way to clean excessive or unwanted color from one's tools, hands, or surface, both during the process and when completed.

Regardless of whether a person sees themselves as a seasoned pro, aspiring artist, or hobbyist, there are several types of applicators that may be used in such projects. The most common is the hand stamp with felt application pad because it delivers an incredible marbling effect. Gloves, canned air, refillable marker pens, and straws are some of the other useful tools which might be utilized to get a multitude of creative looks.

A surface of a non-porous nature on which to work, such as resin, glass, plastic, acrylic, polymer clay, metal, ceramic tiles, dominoes, and card stock, is included on the list. In most situations, it would be strongly suggested to prevent damage or fading by applying two or three thin applications of clear sealant over the finished product. Porous surfaces should be avoided as they absorb the liquid, making it appear muted.

There are many interesting and fun techniques that work well with these inks. An individual is practically unlimited in how far they can explore their own creativity to produce wonderful pieces. It is easy to express oneself freely with this incredibly forgiving medium that offers such a variety of vibrantly stunning colors.
