= FOR THIS PIECE I USED:
▪️PIÑATA Alcohol Inks from Jacquard (all are in the Exciter pack):
- Senorita Magenta
- Baja Blue
- Rich Gold
✨ I recommend the Jacquard PIÑATA “Exciter Pack” of 9 alcohol inks! These inks are rich, vibrant and highly pigmented!
Exciter Pack: amzn.to/2G2tkAB
🔺For Canadians: amzn.to/2HzXn3c
▪️ Piñata Claro Extender : amzn.to/2J87R9S (4 oz. bottle)
Claro Extender allows you to thin your inks without compromising their binding ability as using isopropyl alcohol alone will do. This is particularly important if you are working on glass or tile (slick surfaces). Claro also extends your working time a bit by drying somewhat slower.
▪️ 91% Isopropyl Alcohol
▪️ This was done on the BACK of a sheet of Kirkland Professional Glossy Inkjet Photo Paper : amzn.to/2GUEcTJ
= TOOLS =
🔹 My favorite airbrush is very easy to use within 5 minutes of opening the box... this includes a mini-compressor, the airbrush and hose: amzn.to/2BHzdCo
🔹 The little paintbrushes I used come in a pack of 10 from eBay ... They will take 2 - 3 weeks to arrive but the pack costs less than $2 and that includes shipping!
ebay.to/2pHFiI8 (I used size "S")
🔹 The squeeze bottles that had the thinned alcohol ink (with the white cap):
- for a pack of 6: amzn.to/2qNs517
- for a pack of 12: amzn.to/2qLBrKs
🔹 The tiny silicone cup that held the gold ink : amzn.to/31uHLHe
= SEALING / VARNISHING =
To seal an alcohol ink piece I use a museum quality spray by Krylon: Kamar Varnish. Unlike most spray varnishes and acrylic sprays, it will not react with the alcohol inks. 🔹Here is a link: amzn.to/2jGh3KO
If done on something paper thin like Duralar, the piece can be framed under glass or acrylic without being sprayed. Avoid placing your alcohol ink work where it will be exposed to direct sunlight however. Some inks can fade in the sun.
A UV Protecting spray can help minimize fading.
Thank you in advance for watching the videos, sharing them, commenting and leaving a thumbs up. Your kindness helps my channel continue and it is all greatly appreciated! May the alcohol inks, resin, and paints be kind, and may the pours be with you. 😊💕

[@chrisannmajernik6337]

Beautiful. I love watching your videos. I love when you talk about areas you like and why you like them. More instructive to me is when you talk about areas you dont quite like and why, and when you show how to correct. Thank you.

[@rhondaspencer2420]

I just love all of your art work. Thank you.

[@trudievick2359]

Gorgeous. I've missed seeing your videos. Loved how you used the airbrush to manipulate the alcohol ink. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Myriam! I’m new to exploring this medium. Having fun and your video encourages me to have more!

[@susandwyer8878]

I love this. I'm going to get the airbrush, I wanted one when I first started using the alcohol inks and then I forgot about it. Love those gold lines.

Brilliant video! I’m waiting for my air brush to arrive in the post today, so excited to try it!!

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

Hi Myriam, I’ve just stumbled upon your channel. Loving the look of alcohol inks so bought myself some and am going to give it a try! I love the way you demonstrate it, thank you!

[@susiemoore-ratliff5]

Just love your video!!! You are talented and so positive!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@alicecarver5134]

This is gorgeous.

[@elizabethmaslowska2298]

Just soooo pretty!

[@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.

[@gingerwhalen7734]

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

[@michellepittman8410]

I sincerely love your work!! This is another great one I've learned something from! Now, if I can just do something like it.... I plan to 'watch & work' !

[@nikitathakur5714]

Myriam i love your tutorials! YOu are the best!

[@kathyhosch5644]

I learned how to get great work with thinned alcohol ink and working with the metallic s. Thanks again.

[@michellepittman8410]

I love how you kept control of the inks by blowing them back toward the center, and using alcohol to keep the soft look. I would love to see some landscapes by you if you do them in alcohol inks, or in distress inks. Thank you!

[@jojobe8078]

Myriam, l love your techniques and humor!! I'm new to alcohol inks and delighted to find your channel. Looking forward to learning more!

[@carolanneconnolly-brown6781]

This is lovely. Your videos are so informative. Thank you

[@williamkimmel6487]

Your art is gorgeous by the way. Love it!

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

I just recently found your channel. I could listen and watch you work all day. Love your warm personality and how you explain. I also love your supply list super helpful. I stumbled on AI as a way to decorate some ornaments but I'm interesting in doing wall art as well. love how fascinating this medium is.

[@MargieM10]

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

[@shellywhite3850]

I love that. It's so pretty.

[@raejamison645]

Beautiful, thank you Myriam!

[@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. 😊😊🙌

[@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. ❤️🌷❤️

[@TropicLuv]

You are truly gifted ❤

[@adele6592]

Love the way you explain what to do. Beautiful.

[@donnadavis2883]

[@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.

[@kdix55]

I'm so thrilled I found your video today. I've been having a very difficult time getting my gold alcohol ink to do much of anything but blob. Tomorrow my fine point paint brushes arrive and I cannot wait to try this out. Your work is stunning!!!
