[67] Abstract Alcohol Ink Tutorial

[@judithmorrow6919]

I love to hear people watching a free, informative tutorial complain about the presenter. Ignore any "snarky" comments....we love you!

[@LorrieBrewer]

😊 Thank you very much! I really appreciate your support more than I can say! 💜💜

[@lisafreeman9442]

When you talk...even when you ramble, it sounds like we're two friends sharing a love of a craft. Don't stop! Love your art work and appreciate your sharing.

[@katz103]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@LorrieBrewer]

💜 Thank you so much! That is exactly the way I feel when I am making a video 😊. I feel like all of you who watch are friends so I have a tendency to get off the art information and share other aspects of my life at times, plus I am just a talker who rambles on quite frequently lol. My husband says I can turn a 30 second story into a 30 minute novel 😂. Your support means the world to me! I appreciate it more than I can say! 💜💜

[@nanasue4481]

Well said Lisa!! It’s just like popping in to have a cuppa and a natter with an old school chum. Just carry on being true to yourself Lorrie, your talent and teaching abilities are top drawer!! 💯% 🙏🙏🙏🤗

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

LOL love it!

[@lizdouglas1952]

Lorrie, dismiss the criticism by rude people. Don't allow them to change your way with your beautiful art using alcohol inks. I love you, and enjoy what you share to so many. This turned out gorgeous, with the blues, greens, and Pinata gold. Thank you!!! Stunning!! 🥰👍💖🦋

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you very much for that lovely and supportive comment! People like you are what keep me creating these videos! Thank you so much for the compliment as well! Much love to you! 💜💜💜

[@nancyholwerda3896]

By the way, I have enjoyed you and all your videos I have watched. Don't pay attention to those who are not kind. Just move on. They are not happy themselves. Like our Mothers' said "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything." Just think of all of us who appreciate you.

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so, so much for that comment! I have needed to be reminded just how many of you enjoy (or at least don't mind lol) the way I make my videos. It only takes a few snarky comments to really bring me down and second guess whether I should even bother sometimes. I just let things get to me too easily. I really appreciate your wonderful support! 🥰💜💜

[@kerryoleary7949]

Not sure how we’re supposed to learn if you don’t talk!!! Actions don’t always speak louder than words 😉 I love your videos Lorrie and feel like I’m crafting with a friend when I watch them ❤️

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so very much for that comment! I tend to make my videos like I am talking to friends because that's how I feel about all of you 💜. Thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment! 😊💜

Agreed! If they don't like the talking, then mute the video. No reason to be a jerk about it.

Thank you for your support! I really do appreciate it! Covid has definitely left many people more on edge than normal. Although there are just some who aren't happy unless they are complaining lol.

Hey Lorrie, I'm not sure why anyone would complain about your talking your way thru a painting. I like it when you explain what you're doing and why. It gives me a much better understanding of the process so thank you!

[@warranhangumbaay7472]

😘💕Hi, I’m so excited you are back, I’ve missed your tutorials and I love love love the way you present them. Your tutorials would not be the same without the way you have always done them. ‘Please’ don’t change the way you do things for the sake of a minority of wingers. If we went through life trying to please others we’d not be who we are as an individual and it’s about what makes us happy - I don’t doubt for one second you don’t know that. I hear the excitement in your voice presenting and I also hear the hint of sadness like today. I am excited and look forward to watching further tutorials just the way you have always done them. I admire today’s art, it’s inspired me to get back into my creations, I’m just not a green girl so I’ll go pink😁 yyyaaaa your back😘

[@LorrieBrewer]

🥰 Well, you almost made me cry with that comment. I don't even know how to tell you how much your support has meant and continues to mean to me. I have always been overly sensitive to criticism and the hellacious year that 2020 was for us hasn't helped my frame of mind any. It has only taken a few mean spirited comments here and there to crush some of my enjoyment of sharing my videos. I know better than to let it get to me, but sometimes I just can't help it. I needed that reminder, even though I have said the same things to other people before lol. It's hard to practice what you preach sometimes lol. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your words of wisdom and your incredible support! Much love to you! 💜🥰💜

About the comments that you are talking to much, please don’t change who you are, because of other people! As I mentioned before, I could listen to you all day 😊 So please keep on talking like you used to! When people don’t love it, the can mute or stop wachting. Just stay who you are! ❤️

I always love reading what you have to say, but I don't want you to feel like you have to leave one. Lol Don't let watching or commenting on my videos become a job for you. I didn't do a whole lot of posting through the summer and fall during 2020 anyway. Major health problems with my hubby, a trip back to our old home to visit family, some health issues of my own, yuck. So far, things are looking up for 2021 though!

And I heard you say that you don't like adding your metallic after working your base colors but this effect is gorgeous! I'm going to try it now. 🤞

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you for the compliment! It all depends on what type of painting I am doing as far as when I add the metallic. I like to add it before I move the inks so that I don't have to re-work the painting and possibly mess up an area that I really like by going back over it with the metallic. On one like in this video, it really wouldn't matter either way. Just play around with it both ways and see when you like it the best. There's really not much difference in the way it looks to me, it's just not wanting to mess up what I've already done lol. 💜😊

[@battygirlrachel]

Agreed! I find it funny how quick ppl are to criticize little things that are more a reflection of them than the person they take offense to... Ppl could just mute the audio or find someone else to watch... I would much rather her talk too much than not enough. Yrs ago there was a channel I had a hard time watching because the person talked fast and rambled a bit, but she had the info I wanted so I kept watching. I figured my reaction to her was my problem to work through not hers... Now I look forward to her vids and they are some of my favs to watch. After I got used to her style, it stopped being a problem for me.

@@LorrieBrewer YW! You have a talent for alcohol ink and whispies and I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. Don't understand how one could say you talk too much when they are comming to you for your knowledge... Those who have a real desire and need will appreciate and be greatful for what ever they can gleen from you. Thus it would seem to me that those who criticize are likely entitled and perhaps should pay for classes so there is something of a contract / expectation to be upheld...

This is more a work of art than a background. I have always thought of using my hair dryer, which also has a cool button. I am only half way thru the video and I love it. As for those who were snarky about your talking I have 2 things to say, when you kept flipping your paper from landscape to portrait I was rolling my eyes, so that is #1, #2 is that is what fast forward is for. Or mute, or watch it at 1.25 or 1.5 times the speed. That is actually kind of fun to do. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for that kick in the butt for me! I know that the people who appreciate my videos far outweigh the ones who don’t, but it really helps to hear that support and encouragement from you and others.

Amazing!

[@louisesnake]

Lorrie, I feel so comforted by your remarks and feelings towards the Pinata inks, as they are what I've been using since day one and honestly? (I think I have commented before feeling frustrated at myself) sometimes I lose faith and feel like I'm getting nowhere with the behaviour of these inks. But someone with your experience and knowledge from the ''doing'' of the work, with various inks including Ranger (I wish I could get them shipped here to Northern Ireland!!) being able to advise as you work with these on 'why' they need more alcohol, on how they behave the way they do - this info is honestly invaluable to me

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so very much for that comment! It always means so much to me to hear that something that I've said or shown on a video has really helped someone. That is what keeps me making the videos. Much love to you in Belfast (I'll make it to Ireland one of these days. It's on my must visit list)! 💜💜

Thank you so much! That was a wonderful comment to read and I really appreciate it! Support like that and knowing how many people appreciate what I do and how I do it is what helps keep me going with this. 💜💜

[@sandytigerstrom6180]

I am new to learning this technique..Please talk..yes it is so helpful 😊

[@billiebrown7546]

Lowering as usual that's absolutely beautiful I love the veining that you do. I also love your color selections. Do you use a palette to choose by or do you just pick those up out of your head? Always so pretty

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much! I don't use a color palette, but I do use swatches that I make to hold some colors up together if I am unsure of how they will look together. Most of the time I just choose colors and hope it works lol. 😊💜

[@frazzledhaloz3184]

This is gorgeous!

[@LorrieBrewer]

😊 Thank you very much! 💜

[@mumstheword8851]

New subbie! I L.....OVED watching this! i could watch for hours. And this piece is beautiful. Thankyou. 👏👍😍

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much for the compliment and welcome to you! I hope you enjoy the videos I have here and pick up some good, usable information to help you on your own alcohol ink journey! 💜💜

[@charlenebyington7405]

So gorgeous...great job. Love watching you. Thanks for sharing. 🌿🌺🌿🌼🌿🌾🌿

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thanks so much 😊! I am happy you are enjoying the videos. I hope you are getting plenty of useful information out of all my rambling lol.

[@thatgirl6671]

Beautiful

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you very much! 💜💜

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND LOOKS LIKE A WINTER FOREST FROM A FAIRYTALE BOOK....TFS

[@LorrieBrewer]

😊 Thank you! This one has made me want to try one that looks more like trees. Maybe that will turn up in a future video! 💜💜

[@carolinepurcell]

This is gorgeous, iam still struggling with the inks, maybe someday.🤣 Glad your back.

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thanks so much! 😊 You will get the hang of it! It just takes more practice than most people expect it to. I didn't realize how much more difficult it is than it looks when I first started. Don't give up! 💜💜

[@robinmurphy2563]

Absolutely gorgeous, I don't mind watching a long video.. we are watching something come to life. I would like it though when you stop, turn it around/show us your thoughts on it.

[@dotjeannelee1329]

Lorrie, Your work is wonderful and you are so good at demonstrating specific techniques.

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you very much! Comments like yours really mean so much to me! 😊💜💜

[@elenamaria8063]

I Love It!!!

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you very much! 💜💜

[@cindycordell3005]

I'm loving your videos and your talking us through the process so please carry on as your true authentic self!!!! 😍 For those who are annoyed, they really don't want to learn. They especially didn't learn a very basic rule of humanity. " If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything"!!!!!! 😂

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much!! I love hearing that you are learning from the videos and appreciate the way I do them! I think that some people forget there are beginners who need the step by step. I hope you are learning all you need from them! 😊💜

[@margojakobschuk2277]

Love your commentary...helps explain your thought process. We learn when we listen😊

[@LorrieBrewer]

I appreciate that! That is the biggest reason I explain what I am doing (although I do tend to ramble lol). I struggled when I was learning because so few people were saying anything about how they did it. It didn't help me very much to just watch a high speed video of someone painting with no instruction. I hope you are getting plenty of good information and tips from my videos! 💜😊

[@margojakobschuk2277]

@@LorrieBrewer 💕. Lots of tips and inspiration!!!

[@DivineMizE]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL YOUR SOURCES FOR EQUIPMENT. I am new to this entire concept but I love, love, love the transparent quality of the ink and the ability to manipulate it with the dryer. I am saying to you...don't lose that swirl on the bottom right corner, it looks like the ocean. Beautiful! OUCH...as I was writing this, you were wiping out the right hand corner with blue.. Waaa...it's not bad but.... :-D

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you for your comment! I frequently wince when I go back and edit videos and see things that I really should have left alone or places that I should have stopped on the whole painting lol. That’s one of the drawbacks, or sometimes teaching tool for me, to having a video of what I’ve done lol.

[@pamagibson08]

Very pretty- I am just beginning to try acrylic ink, and was very happy to see someone doing larger teaching of the process. You did a great teaching and a beautiful painting.

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you very much for the compliments! I hope most of your questions will be answered in the videos even though mine are alcohol inks. I don’t think the process would be much different with acrylic inks, though I am not positive. I have never used any of the acrylic but I have seen people using it and alcohol ink on the same painting, in the same way from what I could tell. I hope you enjoy my videos! Thank you for watching! 😊💜

[@diegooland1261]

Nice job. I can't get my brass to come out like yours does. This is a good video for the look I'm going for.

[@Dog4life_]

Your wonderful accent sounds so much like mine. I love your work. You inspire me.

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you for the compliment! It took me quite a while and almost giving up on the brass to start getting the results I wanted. Hang in there and keep practicing and I know you will start getting happier with your results!

[@frazzledhaloz3184]

Happy New year!

[@LorrieBrewer]

Happy New Year to you as well! I hope you have a wonderful 2021! 💜💜😀

[@KatNissWhiteHart]

I love your videos and your chat. Please keep on doing what you do and ignore the negative Nancy’s ☺️ you’ve helped me understand how inks work so much so it’s a big thank you from me 🙏

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that lovely and supportive comment! I don't think I could stop being who I am no matter how hard I tried anyway lol. 😊💜💜

[@ReneeW59]

I LOVE this!!! The colors are gorgeous! It's probably good you used Pinata on a larger piece. I think with Ranger you would have had to keep adding ink. I watch all of your videos over and over, trying to learn this technique. Last night I finally made one I don't hate! Thank you for being such a great teacher. I don't think you talk too much at all. I enjoy listening to you. Haters can either not watch or can turn down the volume. You just keep doing what you do. Love you, Lorrie!

[@LorrieBrewer]

I love hearing that you are getting better and happier with your own work! That's the reason I keep on doing these videos; knowing that they are helping people who really want to learn! Much love to you! 💜💜😊

[@lydiadevries8408]

I love love it

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you very much!

[@chellegriggs]

Love you talking...💕 love your art and tutorials...I've got the supplies, now just trying to work up the nerve to try it...😂

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much! Just jump in with both feet (or hands lol)! Don't get frustrated if you aren't getting the results you want right off. It can take some practice if you've never done anything similar before. Just hang in there, keep practicing, and above all - have fun with it, and you'll love what you are painting before you know it! 💜💜

[@katz103]

Im so glad you are back ! I love your videos. Such great instructions. I have learned so much! Thank you!

[@LorrieBrewer]

😊 Thank you for your support and compliments! People like yourself who let me know that the videos are helping you and how much you appreciate them are the ones who really keep me going! Thank you again! 💜💜

[@tbirt57]

Hi, I’m new to Alcohol ink, and I l😊ove the way that you present what you are doing. Explaining what can go wrong as well as your intended explanation. I haven’t watched in any particular order and saw that you were unable to get the hair dryer that you wanted. I had just ordered that one on Amazon. Don’t know if you’ve already heard about it. Thanks for your videos!

[@PrinceCharmingsMom2930]

I just love you! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much! I love sharing what I do in hopes that it will make it a little bit easier for others to learn it! 💜💜

[@davevandusen7737]

Beeeeutiful! I really like it! What’s the Facebook group you have. I’d like to post some of what I’m doing so you can see it and let me know what I’m doing right or wrong. Thanks again for your excellent instruction!!

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you! There are links in the video descriptions to my Facebook and Instagram pages, but I have to warn you that I am horrible about keeping up with them. I just can't seem to find the time these days. Send me some pics of your work and I'll try not to make you wait too long for a response lol. I always love seeing what others are creating! 😊💜

[@petagaymatthison4999]

I am learning so much from u keeping talking.
