[37] Alcohol Ink Techniques: How To Paint Beautiful Ripples On Canvas Using Alcohol Ink!

When painting with alcohol inks, I usually paint on synthetic or photo paper. However, in this video I tried my hand at using alcohol inks on canvas (this one is 16" x 20'). Here you'll see how the alcohol ink technique of painting ripples works on canvas.
As an abstract artist, I created ripples on the water in this ocean-inspired painting that I'm calling "Whispering Silver Tides." (Note: The canvas was first primed with a coat of Kilz.)
