36] ALCOHOL INK : Getting Started - INFO - DEMOS - How to Use Alcohol Inks for Beginners

[@lindawhite1515]

Myriam, I hope an art school, high school or college/university has the honour of having you on staff because you are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. Your pace, tone, content, humour, knowledge all promote learning in students of all levels, even someone like me who had never attempted making art until I hit my 70s. Thank you for your generosity in sharing what you know with us.

[@janeblogs324]

But why teach 30 people when you can teach 500,000 at a time?

[@NiceeFW]

This is a great video. Finally someone who broke down the mysteries of alcohol ink in a way that everyone can understand. I love how detailed you were and the passion that you have. You’re a great teacher. Thank you Myriam ❤️

[@MyriamsNature]

That’s so good to hear... thank YOU! I’m really happy that this was useful. I hope that you have lots fun exploring this wonderful medium. 😊😘💕

[@pcat1000]

FIRST, let me congratulate you on one of the MOST thought through and well prepared videos on you tube. thank you for not ''winging it'' on our time. i want more ! thanks

[@MyriamsNature]

Oh my gosh... thank you so much for that!! My plan is to make videos I'd want to watch and hope that they go over well with others. I also want to make them as quick as I can so that you can go and paint!! 😃 I greatly appreciate your encouragement and will certainly keep trying to oblige with more videos. 😊💕

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

I totally agree! Myriam (with a Y 😆) is a natural and explains things so well. All that and her infectious laughter make her a favorite.

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

I especially jest about with a Y because I frequently say my name is Kristina with a K......

Totally agree, SO informative. She’s a great explainer

AmandaH7hearts you are a wonderful teacher.

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

She’s SO amazing!!!

[@kittykat6454]

You are by far my favorite alcohol ink artist to watch. Not only do you share tips and tricks using alcohol inks, you also share the best products to use. Plus you always put a smile on my face. I love your videos.

[@jennifercondrey2282]

If only ALL teachers were this clear and thorough! From one teacher to another - THANK YOU!!!

[@mawi1172]

How long did it take me to realize you weren't talking about ALCOHOLICS? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'M so stupid!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tinatrimble5134]

My Goodness, what a wonderful, informative video! I've been wanting to do "something" with alcohol inks for quite some time, but this has given me the knowledge I needed to actually go purchase some, and the confidence to know I'm getting only what I need to get started. Let me also say that I LOVE your voice, and the laughter in it. I'm looking forward to learning from you!

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you ever so much for that very kind and very thoughtful comment Tina! 😊💕 I hope that you will have endless fun playing in this magical world of alcohol inks ... just a little warning, they are addictive! 😉

[@mhayah]

Lady, I cannot complement you enough I mean I couldn’t find a decent tutorial yet yours is as they’ve said well thought and answered all my questions, also , you could be the next Bob Ross , you have a very calming so ASMR like voice and way of speaking,,

[@vicnjesus]

Thank you for being an awesome teacher. I absolutely Love how you explain and demonstrate your lesson. You also have a great teaching voice that is clean and clear. That’s especially good for those who have hearing problems. I’ve watched 100’s of teaching videos on different subjects and by far you are the BEST!!! May you be ABUNDANTLY BLESSED😊

[@lisastradley1275]

I am new to alcohol inks, having had a couple lessons, but I found this video today and learned sooooo much. In particular, my favorite-turning your painting surface to the side to create the landscapes. This video was very informative! Well done and thanks!

[@bjoriginals9203]

I have been doing acrylic pouring for the past year and just wanted to try the alcohol inks because of the beautiful way they blend. I was searching for some beginner tutorials and happened on your site. I'm so glad I found you! You are a wonderful teacher and provide the basics a beginner needs. I have subscribed now to your channel and will be watching the other videos on this topic as well as your other work. Thank you for your clear easy to understand explanations. I'm looking forward to more!

[@kimmeruk]

When I hear the joy in your voice as you create, well it just makes me joyful!

[@Empress031]

This is two years into the making of this video: it is still the most thorough, informative, comprehensive, clear and engaging tutorial I have come across. Thank you for making it easy for me to proceed with this beautiful hobby!

[@56sleepy]

You are a wonderful, knowledgeable teacher who makes art accessible with your gentle and fun way. Thanks for a great video!

[@wandabrawley748]

Sooooo informative! You have such an educational way of presenting things. It keeps people interested right up to the end and anxious for the next chapter. No falling asleep in YOUR class‼️💕

[@MyriamsNature]

Awww... What a super nice thing to say... Thank you Wanda! 😊💕

[@debraryan5744]

Wanda Brawley I totally agree with you.

[@LedgerAndLace]

I couldn't have said it better! :-)

[@JacindaH]

This covered literally every question I had. Thank you so much. By far the most informative videos I've seen on KZbin!

[@yellowrose7405]

Myriam does a great job going over the basics if you are a beginner with this medium. Very good advice on getting started without breaking the bank for starter supplies. Beautiful art work!

[@MissFlux]

Excellent!! THANKYOUUU! this was JUST what I needed. I’m late to the whole alcohol ink craze (although I do know artists have been using this medium for decades or more, it just seems like one ☝️ of the latest crazes in recent years) You explain everything in layman’s terms ie: easy to understand & make me feel confident not afraid of doing the “wrong thing”. Can’t wait to follow your intro to alcohol inking videos🙏🙋 from Aust. Also I did get just 3 primary colours to start, but they are SOOOOO saturated that I can’t get the effect I’m looking for. So hopefully diluting them will help. I’m just not sure of the ratios etc. Maybe you will explain that in another vid. If not, can you please direct me to a good video about diluting with alcohol as I don’t have blending solution yet. Much thanks,and I know you’re a busy woman, so I totally understand that you may not reply straight way😬👍🙋🧸

[@VikingLander]

What a fantastic and thorough description and demonstration of alcohol inks!! Myriam is hands down one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!

[@sanellen]

Hi Myriam, it was a pleasure viewing your tutorial. My main medium is watercolor. A group of my fellow artists got together a few years ago to experiment with the alcohol inks making greeting cards. We had a ball. I have not used them much since then, you have inspired me to pick them up again. I have no excuse since I am practicing social distancing. You are also an excellent instructor. Best!

[@christinekoz5353]

so helpful...thank you....btw....ignore the thumbs downs....they probably are jealous of your knowledge. LOL!! have a great day,,,,,and keep up the sharing..we love it. God bless!

[@MyriamsNature]

Ha... Thank you for that... It totally made me smile! May you be blessed Christine! 😊💕

[@nanmcdonald203]

When I see a thumbs down after such an informative video, I can only assume someone was on their phone and hit thumbs down in error. You are such a great teacher. Thank you for your time and efforts in sharing your knowledge.

[@barbarahastings6285]

christine Koz I totally agree about the thumbs down. She is so generous and good at what she does that I can't imagine why they are giving a thumbs down.

[@sharonandersen3669]

Myriam, you are such a fantastic instructor!!! Clear info, great examples shown, perfect pacing. All I wanted to know and more about alcohol inks - thank you so very much!

[@dioneverba3970]

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm new to the medium and you were able to make SO MANY THINGS make sense in ways that hours and hours of research & tutorials couldn't! You broke down how to use the materials and why you need to so thoroughly and thoughtfully, and blessedly kept in mind the perspective of those of us that are brand new to alcohol inks instead of forgetting to explain things that have become second nature to you. I feel so much better about diving into alcohol inks and I love your energy and kindness! Thank you so much again for taking your time out to make this video!

[@75julianne]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial! I was wondering, is there a certain canvas that can be used or a primer that can be applied to canvas so it can be used for alcohol ink? Thank you so much!

[@clombard7134]

WOW! Myriam you are an awesome instructor! I've watched many, many videos and your tutorials are informative, concise and I now know exactly what I need to get started! Thank you so much for your time and effort, you rock!

[@ckmom1]

Absolutely amazing channel! I’ve only watched one video on alcohol ink and am blown away! Can’t wait to get through all of them. Thanks so much!!!

Thank you so much for your helpful videos. You are the best. Such a soothing voice and so encouraging. Thank you

[@j.cipriano309]

Thank you, I am looking at new mediums to craft with. I have seen these in the stores for years but was never really sure what the heck you did with them. This was a very helpful video explaining the basics of what they are and what they do. Much appreciated.

[@sherryjeep]

You are an amazing teacher. I’m so glad you are the first person I found to introduce me to this medium. I’m excited to start.

[@stacyamazedbylife7508]

I've just come across this video while binge watching your channel! I've been using alcohol inks for about four or five months. I can't tell you how much this video has helped me. It's made me excited to go pull out my inks and create today! I love all your videos and I love the joy in your voice when you talk about your artwork, other people's work, and the passion for art! 🖌️👩‍🎨🎨. I'm a watercolorist primarily, so it's been fun exploring this. And you've been amazing at guiding my adventure! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😘

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Stacy! I am just delighted that you are excited by this medium. If my videos have helped in any way it makes me all the more happy. 😊 Thank you so much for your super kind and very thoughtful comment. 😘💕 Interestingly I am starting to dabble (I mean really just dabble) in watercolor... THAT is an amazing medium! So much to learn and so challenging! I wish you lots of fun with all that you create. May you and yours be happy, healthy and safe.

[@ginnyfullerton806]

Thank you for teaching us the basics so we understand how alcohol inks work! Excellent teaching, can’t thank you enough!

[@carolekinnear3221]

love your video, everything explained so clearly. Loved when you were talking about the bossy paints. Thanks so much for all the info.

[@jadetobin]

This was awesome! I have been wanting to try alcohol inks for a long time but only recently bought a set...it's an off brand, or at least not one of the ones you showed, mostly because it was on sale and the only one I could afford, so hopefully it works ok....also, I have just the normal alcohol, like 70% or whatever it is, and I've been looking and, I think cuz of covid, I can't find the 90 anywhere ... so will I be able to do it with the lower %?? I want to make a couple mugs as a gift so I'm hoping to try soon so I'm hoping the alcohol i have will work. This was an AWESOME video and can't wait to watch the rest. You make absolutely the most beautiful things! Hopefully I can get some tiles to practice on, such a good tip!! And that super pointy bottle too! I also LOVE the sharp edges they make! Thanks again! Sorry for all the !!! Aahahaha but I'm pretty excited :)

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Jade, I’m so happy this was helpful. There are a ton of alcohol ink brands out nowadays... most are good, each with their own characteristics. You can certainly do work with 70%... 90% and higher is better simply because it has less water (alcohol inks don’t like water). You might find your inks look a bit grainy because of the 70%, but you might also be just fine. Alcohol ink is unpredictable at times so have fun and experiment. Another inexpensive practice surface is the shiny side of white freezer paper (from the grocery store 😃)... it can even wipe completely clean most of the time (some colors might stain.) If you’re on FB, I’d love to have you join my group... there are a lot of alcohol ink artists sharing their work, resources, etc. It’s a great place to ask questions, get inspired, AND show off what you make. If you’re interested, here is the link: facebook.com/groups/Myriams.Fluid.Art.Tribe 😊 Happy inking!!! (I’m a fan of explanation points too 😁😘💕!!)

[@jadetobin]

@@MyriamsNature thank you SO much for replying! Can't tell you how much it means to me and how much it helps! I will definitely be on the look out for the higher % alcohol and also for those little bottles you use a lot to water them down with the alcohol! I don't have a fb account, I'm so sorry...I'd love to see all you and others are doing. I appreciate the offer so much :) Once I do something I'll try and let you know somehow :) I've binged a bunch of your videos for ideas and inspiration and I'll have to force myself to go to sleep and not to my table and open my inks ;) Although I hope I can use them well without watering them down and such...and not wasting too much as I definitely can't buy more right now ;) but, I am excited! Like I said, your creativity, enthusiasm and giggles are wonderfully infectious :) Thank you so much! You're a wonderful teacher!! You make people, someone like me that's wanted to get back into my art but due to worsening health just haven't, but the way you teach and your style just makes you excited again and want to just splash paint everywhere! Ok...I won't do that, though that is my dream....but ill reign it in and show my excitement in this new adventure of alcohol inks :) Thanks so much!! I hope you and your family are doing well during all this!! Stay safe!! :)

[@jeffm3283]

Extremely helpful, thank you Myriam! I was wondering how people were drawing with them and I saw you use that stylus, and that was what I was really wondering the most. Very educational video. I saw the most gorgeous alcohol ink at an art show and I want to try it. Thanks again!

[@MyriamsNature]

It was my pleasure... Thank YOU Jeff! The inks can be used in so many different ways. Though they behave quite differently, you can use anything one would use for watercolor with the inks too... e.g., paintbrushes, sponges, misters, etc. If you’re on FB, I’d love to have you join my group... there are a lot of alcohol ink artists sharing their work, resources, etc. It’s a great place to ask questions, get inspired, and show off what you make.

[@22spirals]

These starter videos are ULTRA helpful, Thank You! Only thing I'll add is I'm confused as to why a youtuber such as yourself would think ANY material (in this case the inks) did not have literally thousands upon thousands of amazing options to use. Honestly the .000001% of options shown are pretty underwhelmingly bland LOL. I'm anxious to find the videos of you using some cool stuff. Anyway, Thanks!

Hi Paula... I'm so happy that this was useful! Yes the inks make wonderful soft and variegated backgrounds as the colors blend so beautifully and have such life!

[@gwenllianaclutterbooke5543]

This is the best tutorial I've seen. Thank you for assuming we're absolute beginners!

[@asrahman8435]

Great beginner video! What's the difference between Claro extender and blending solution?

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you for the kind words 😊. There really is no difference between Claro and blending solution... they both thin the inks to lighten them without compromising the binding ability of the inks or their gloss. Both have a resin binder built in. Thinning inks with isopropyl alcohol for example, works but minimizes the sheen of the inks and makes them bind less because the isopropyl alcohol dilutes the resin in the inks. I hope that makes sense and helps answer your question. Happy inking! 💕

[@dianasantry4913]

Oh Myriam with a Y!! I feel SO fortunate to have found you! I appreciate your thoughtful presentation, always keeping the viewer in mind by using your lazy susan, by adding music or lowering the sound of the blow dryer, all of your great and sensitive tricks, but most of all! It's your LOVE, your sheer enthusiasm! It's infectious, and I've caught it! Thank you, I have so much to learn, I believe I'm beginning something new and amazingly fun here! Hooray!

I wish every lesson I need to learn in life would be taught by you. You break things down. You are animated and talk like a storyteller to children. Holds my ADHD mind still so I can actually learn something. I'm 420 years old in dog years!

[@MyriamsNature]

That is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever gotten… Thank you so very much Debi!! I’m only 6 years younger (or 42 dog years 😉😁) and it doesn’t take much to make my mind race a mile a minute in 12 different directions so II am right there with you. My goal has always been to make videos I’d want to watch from start to finish. I’m just over the moon delighted when I hear they work for others. Thank you for taking time to tell me!! 😊😘💕

[@terryannsweeney4428]

Excellent delivery! You are a well organized teacher, Myriam, with a sweet sense of humor. I made inks this weekend with Sharpie felts in 91% alcohol. Thanks for sharing the info to apply them!

[@kimberlylorrainebradford474]

Myriam I have to say you a beautiful voice! Every video. I watch of yours is beyond informative. Your voice is soothing, your laugh infectious, your art amazing!! You make it all look effortless, (yet I know better!) while leaving me inspired to go create and experiment with something new. ☮️💕🎨

[@safi456]

Myriam, you sound exactly like a dear friend of mine who also collects my art! I'm already taken by you! Really enjoyed this tutorial. Ive never used these products, and the reason alcohol inks have piqued my interest is because I need a tiled splashback behind my gas hob. So I thought, why dont I make a unique and personalised one by painting the tiles? My research led me to these inks which eventually led me to you. I've looked through your extensive playlist but I cant find anywhere to teach me how to seal these tiles once your painting has dried. It needs to be totally sealed so there is no interaction between the tiles and the gas flames, i.e. I dont want the painting on the tiles to melt off!!! Or for the alcohol to cause some kinda explosion!!!! Also, a tutorial that shows how to paint a whole block of tiles in one go would be so useful. EG if you are making a triptych, how do you keep the tiles together during the painting process, but separate them to dry individually? The latter is important just in case they end up sticking to each other and then it'll be a nightmare to use them. Hope my Qs have inspired your next two tutorials! Totally selfish I know, but I'm sure your viewers will thank me! :D

[@WINWINSOME]

Thank you so much, this video was so informative!

[@ConnieHildebrand]

This was SO HELPFUL since I am just beginning. Thanks. I have subscribed to get your next videos too.

[@lannascott3305]

No one explains as well as you Myriam! Kudos to tyou on a great job explaining to us mewbys!

[@janelloyd4268]

Loved this video! One question - if using a tile as a coaster, do you have to seal it with something?

Hi Myriam, I’ve been doing alcohol ink on non-porous tiles and when I apply the ink it beads up and almost disappears. I’ve tried everything to conquer this problem to no avail…help me.
