Your work is stunning! I love the soft petals and the way you shape them with the cotton swab. Thank so much for taking your time to share your beautiful work and process!!

[@amymalecki173]

I can tell by your voice you have patience. Patience is a virtue

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

You are too kind. Thank you.😊

[@reneebanbury7066]

Great video! I love the petals & appreciate you sharing how you do this!

[@tinavemb]

You are a great teacher, thank you 🙏

[@moonmagnolia7]

This is so beautiful. Thank you SO much for sharing your technique.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

[@andywandner2595]

Thank you. I’ve been trying to create these flowers and now I know what to do. I hope mine come out as pretty as yours

[@evokevisualart9128]

Who knew such beauty could come out of a black blob! :) I love the delicate effects you can get from alcohol inks - definitely inspiring me to give it a try some day! Until then, I'll satisfy myself by watching others do it ;)

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Great video! I was amazed at the colours from the black ink! Lovely effect.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍💕💕🇬🇧🇬🇧🐶🐶🐶

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thanks Maureen. Pitch Black is my favorite.

[@sandyporter2452]

Excellent tutorial.... thank you!🙃

[@SuperSally345]

I am so happy with what you have taught me. Thank you!

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Hi Sally. I'm so happy that watching my videos has been helpful.

[@judysiemsen1041]

I can’t find your list that has your air brush name on amazon. Thank you!

[@Oregonowens]

I too am trying to find the air brush

[@BBare.]

Beautiful! Your air tank should have a valve or a drain plug to empty the condensation. That will help with the moisture.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. I had 2 moisture traps on it. I added one to the hose as well, but my studio is in my basement and sometimes it's just to damp down there...especially if it's been raining.

[@amymalecki173]

Thank you

[@josettearmstrong124]

I’m am holding airbrush about half an inch to an inch off the paper and I think I’m get better pedals then I was. Try get closer I’m tell u it helped

[@jasonmelissaadams4341]

Thankyou so helpful☺️

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

😊

[@joycemhill0703]

I have the Kirkland photo paper and have been unsuccessful in using it. When I put alcohol on it it just soaks in. I tried both sides in case that was my error. I will keep trying, because I am stubborn, but if you have any insight that would be great. I am new to your channel but find your classes very helpful and encouraging so thank you !

[@Richiedei50]

The amazing thing is you only used one colour to get this lovely design - black… 😵🥰

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Pitch black is a great color!

[@Richiedei50]

It is indeed. 🥰

[@MyArt215]

What airbrush do you use? Could I get a link for it? Beautiful work btw

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. Here you go - Airbrush and compressor kit - amzn.to/2sMjGjq

[@jillkalfin1221]

what are you using for your alcohol drops. I cannot seem to control the drops from what I am using. amazon alcohol dispensers.

[@MyArt215]

Very nice, question why do you dry the black ink?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. To keep it from blending with the other ink too much.

[@MyArt215]

@@VivoVintageDesignswhat other ink, I didn’t see you lay any other ink color down just alcohol

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

@@MyArt215 generally, that's why. In this case, if I didn't dry it first, when I put the alcohol down to blow out a petal, it would have blown out all the black.

[@Diana-iu1qs]

Does the work have to be sealed afterwards

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

You should always seal alcohol ink with varnish and uv protection, or it will fade over time.

[@janevt.5914]

Love your videos but wish you would explain better why you do certain things with the airbrush, as a beginner I need more instructions on the reasons you do certain maneuvers. Thanks!

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you for watching.

[@UIV7096]

Just about to ask my FB A-Ink group how to use it in a spray form! Ty Q: can this technique be used on glass.. non-porous surfaces, Wood & Metal? Ty♥️ beautiful colors

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I imagine it can be done on a non porous surface, however if working on canvas or wood, I would apply 2 coats of kilz2 primer first. I've not worked on glass or metal, but imagine it would be fine if sealed properly.

[@UIV7096]

@@VivoVintageDesigns Ok Ty so much 😁

[@MyArt215]

So is 50 the best psi to use?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I usually use 40. If you're just starting out, I recommend starting with 20.

[@therebelliousresinista4288]

can i ask which airbrush you have?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

This is the one I use and love - *Master Airbrush and compressor kit - amzn.to/2sMjGjq

[@karengroeniger4427]

What black did you use that gives you the different colors?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Pitch black

[@janisbaker5873]

Beautiful art! How do you control how much air comes out of the blow dryer?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

The blow dryer has settings. I usually use the low setting. Less air and not as hot.

[@janisbaker5873]

@@VivoVintageDesigns I know I said blow dryer but I meant to say air brush! Lol. I bought an air brush and it seems that the air comes out at the same speed!

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

@@janisbaker5873 in that case, you need an airbrush with an adjustable PSI.

[@janisbaker5873]

@@VivoVintageDesigns I have the Master’s airbrush! It’s the small black one that you sit on the table. Are you familiar with this one because I don’t know how to adjust the PSI

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Message me on my FB page with a picture of it and I can tell you if its adjustable or you can look up the model and find instructions online.

[@SheXyShellyMarie]

Why is there water from your air brush?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

From the moisture in the air

[@SheXyShellyMarie]

@@VivoVintageDesigns I see. We don’t have any moisture.

[@dianejohnson8904]

Can this be done on a canvas?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

You have to prime the canvas with a couple of coats of kilz2 primer, however, the ink flow a bit differently on canvas because if its texture.
