[@coffeenerd5024]

You are legit the Bob Ross of alcohol ink… so many happy little dots

[@leestjohn2725]

AS A newcomer two alcohol inks, and a 50 year watercolor artist , I am overjoyed with your video and information. I am a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and thrilled with this new beginning. thank you!

[@fredclark964]

love the ethereal look with thinned color and embellished with gold

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you Fred!

[@jenifersteffen8226]

This was the best technique video I have ever seen. You go at a pace that I can keep up with but not so slow that I'm bored. Thanks. I'll be watching more.

[@annette2687]

Gorgeous and outstanding! You are the Bob Ross of alcohol ink! 🖌🖌🖌

I’m new to alcohol inks and I’m learning so much from your videos. You are a great teacher!

Rounding them out is called neurographing, great way to meditate and open the mind. Love your work.

[@TropicLuv]

You are truly gifted ❤

[@manthiejoy]

How is it I've never seen your videos before now! I'm so impressed with your easy manner teaching. I'm learning a lot. Thanks so much.

[@adele6592]

Love the way you explain what to do. Beautiful.

[@karenstrong8887]

Myriam, you are fabulous. You not only relax me with your voice and trust me relax is not usually in me. You explain everything I need to know and you even gave me an Aussie link to get the photo paper from. You are the first person who told me what you are putting the inks on and I have everything I need in my art room already. I thought I would have to move next door to you and become your new best friend but you make me feel like I did. I subscribed to Sharon’s group this week. I haven’t seen her doing anything with inks except a resin sculpture and it is pretty. I love that I can do this to relax and I don’t need a respirator because it won’t kill me or my husband and 4 little puppies. Thank you. ❤️🌷❤️

[@anabela_nunes_artist]

OMG! I am so happy I found you!

[@joycemhill0703]

You are an excellent teacher and gifted artist. I would imagine you already knew this but...just in case. Your enthusiasm and humor make for an enjoyable learning environment. 😊

It is just so beautiful! I love everything about it. 🙏Thank you so much!

Beautiful, Miriam! I’m brand new to alcohol inks (well, any sort of artistry, really-left-brained senior here). Your teaching style and explanations are extremely helpful and fun! Thank you so much. 💕

[@noneyobusiness6582]

I use a small air compresser. Oh this is so much fun. I just love it

[@laurienye7514]

How are you doing, Myiam. I understand you have been ill, I sure hope you are doing better now. I just love your Ink Art. I think it is magnificent.

[@sandyclark2385]

Myriam you inspired me so much. I’m off to ‘Woolies’ to buy me some photo paper and I can’t wait to experiment. Oh, and straws. Thank you.

I can’t stop watching this, it’s so inspirational!!!

[@CallMeCraftyAl]

So glad I clicked on your link. I was just coming to see you use the Claro Extender, but was pleasantly surprised to see you pull out the Kirkland photo paper as I placed an order just last night for it! :) Thanks for all of the tips and tricks!

[@gingerwhalen7734]

I don't know whether I like watching or listening to you more? Both your work and soothing voice are beautiful. TFS!

[@francynroy2231]

Hi, realy interesting the way that you explain all your tricks. Thanks alot from me, quebec canada.

[@SuperCoyote7]

Awesome video, I am so glad I finally found someone who knows how to do inks, thanks.

[@melodymoore2082]

Hi Myriam, I'm from Australia & have struggled to get a soft ethereal look. Thank you SO much for the tip re thinning the ink. I have been getting the blobs of dark colour which then makes it impossible to get the look you have achieved above. I was recommended your videos & am so grateful. Thank you!!

[@TwistedQuestionMark]

Looks like wisps of silk scarves blowing in the breeze. Stunning.

[@melindazupan9131]

This exactly what I was looking for. Putting ink bottle with alcohol is a brilliant idea. Would love more tutorials like this. Thank you. 😊😊🙌

[@shelaghmoore3989]

I have just found you and am blown away. Thank you.

[@marinabrantner753]

I really enjoyed watchingn you create these wispy flowers on this arctic cold, snow-filled, day. It's like taking a stroll in a warm summer garden.

[@MyriamsNature]

What a lovely analogy Marina… Thank you so much for that image!! I am in a cold and dreary place too so, believe me, making pretty things is what is keeping me going! 😂 I am grateful for you every day!! 😊😘💕

[@susansouthern6704]

Hi Myriam from across the river in Windsor..love your channel..lots of info and real fun 😄

[@lorikendrick5076]

That gold just makes that painting!. It reminds me of a Japanese tradition to use gold to mend things that have broke. Like a cup or bowl. I always liked that and this reminds me of it.

[@MyriamsNature]

Oh that is so cool... I love that... thank you for that comparison Lori! And thank you for always being such a wonderful encourager! 😊😘💕

[@mltbkr]

thank you Myriam I'm trying this all today. Thanks for the inspiration! I have a tip maybe you can share with all...women who use eyeliner when you have used up all the liquid keep the brush. These brushes are super fine and can be used for intricate work just like you have demonstrated for the gold veining. Mary Lou from Chicago. :)

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you for your kind words Mary Lou... and for that awesome tip! 😃 I never would’ve thought of that. I hope you enjoy doing this! 😊😘💕

[@jeanneogata8626]

I usually don’t finish watching most of these tutorials, but I couldn’t stop playing yours. You did a great job, not only with your instructions, but your voice is so calming and inviting. You are also more organized than most! Thank you.

[@MyriamsNature]

Many thanks for that Jeanne! I really appreciate it! 😊💕

[@noneyobusiness6582]

Oh my goodness this is just what I did for our family Christmas cards. However just before .my work was finished drying I did use the gold flakes for the Vains. It turned out so cool. On I had so much fun with this and it had the perfect colors where I wanted the colors. Then at the end the gold vains were just a perfect amount..

[@deborahdoesscrap]

I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and am absolutely entranced by your alcohol ink work. I have watched a lot of acrylic pour videos and while I love the look and techniques, the amount of paint being wasted and the whole process seems overwhelming to me. I haven't worked with alcohol inks but had just ordered some from Ranger to start playing with and if I can actually get something that looks decent, after practicing a few years, LOL, I will invest in other tools and inks. Having said that, I know I do not have an artists eye because when you finished the blowing I thought it was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. It looked perfect to me. Then you added the gold and I wouldn't have thought to do that but as you were working and you mentioned areas you didn't like and why, I was scratching my head because I didn't see anything wrong. I hope I am making myself clear. At each stage I was sure it was done and then you would add something and it just made it more gorgeous. I am not sure I would ever get even close but I hope I have fun playing with it. I am subscribing and look forward to many more alcohol ink projects. I will work on watching your past videos and I watch the acrylic pours, etc also but they don't really excite me the way alcohol ink does. I think I like the very ethereal look to them. I am hoping that in one of the older videos you will discuss how to seal and preserve your masterpiece when finished? Thank you. Deborah

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Deborah! First of all, thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful note. Like you I am drawn to the ethereal look you can get with alcohol inks, but they can also be used for very deep/bold pieces too. You’ll find them quite versatile I think 😁. I believe with all of my heart that you will be able to create pieces you love with the inks... they are forgiving, exciting, and so much fun! Have faith that you can because I do!! I wish you much fun and success on your ink journey! 😊😘💕 Oh ... Once my alcohol ink paintings dry totally, I spray them with a clear, glossy varnish designed for varying mediums including acrylics, oils and watercolors. A wonderful thing about this particular spray is that it is the only varnish I have ever found which has no bleeding impact on alcohol inks. It will not cause the inks to move in any way… Even the finest alcohol ink details are preserved and protected. Here is a link for it - Kamar Varnish: amzn.to/2Evyv9N I hope that helps a bit. 😊

[@deborahdoesscrap]

@@MyriamsNature Oh yes, that is a big help, Myriam. I have followed your links and looked at all the products and it seems a reasonable investment. In other words, it doesn't seem like I will have to sell my first born child to get the needed supplies. I really love your voice and the way you teach. So many either turn the sound off and don't say anything or they tell you what they are doing but not the why's. I have the kind of brain that benefits from understanding why I am doing something. Thank you again.

[@dianalarkin9483]

[@SharonLindleyVividDaysArt]

What a stunning piece, when I saw your post thumbnail my jaw dropped. It’s just so pretty you makes me want to work hard and learn more about this beautiful medium. Your skills with inks and the air brush inspires me. Your video as always are amazing to watch and you always give so much to use all. Again I learnt much from you especially on the papers. I am still struggle to get my knowledge up on this aspect and what’s the best way to seal ink piece. Those colours are just to die for and that pop of gold just take it to a very regal eye catching piece. Thank you so much for you beautiful shout out, it’s means a lot your support but to also now I got your seal of approval, the queen on alcohol inks ❤️❤️ Thank you for being you and being wonderful and also an amazing artist. ❤️❤️. An amazing piece with a lot of humph and something something. Thanks for giving us more ❤️

Oh Sharon you have more than my seal of approval… You have my admiration and respect! I love your work, your warmth and your good humor. You never fail to inspire me and I just love that! Thank you for being you! 😊😘💕 And thank you for always lifting me up!

[@chrisannmajernik6337]

Hi Mayriam. I'm new to your channel. I have been exploring and researching painting with alcohol ink. I have an octagon window in the front of my house. I want to paint a star with a cross inside. I am going to try this method but using tape to outline the star and cross and paint over it. Thank you for your inspiration an knowledge. I learned a lot. Wish me luck.

[@laurabuehler]

I was on one of my cardmaking channels just now and the artist there, Jessica Frost Ballas for Simon Says Stamp, was using an Air Puffer to move around her alcohol inks. I don't know anything about them or how much control you have, but I thought I would mention them to you. She said they were purchased at a camera store and are used to remove dust from lenses. "See" you soon, Myriam.

[@MyriamsNature]

I have one Laura and honestly don’t love it for this (or acrylic pouring... I used it for that too). The puffer requires squeezing for every puff (it gets tiring for involved pieces) and I find I have less control. BUT it may work well for others so I wouldn’t advise against it. Thank you for the kind thought and suggestion! 😊😘💕
