Alcohol ink tutorial in real time.
Real time tutorial for alcohol ink beginners / artist who like to watch the whole process.
As you can see in the video I didn't start this piece quite the way I had planed... But I know from experience that with alcohol ink you can always keep working - always chance it, hopefully for the better.
The way it looked right at the beginning of the video is actually a really good way to start a piece. Put down some random spots of ink and start adding more alcohol to create new shapes, fades, wispy stuff or what ever you feel like doing. I start at least half of my alcohol ink paintings this way.
The reason why I think this is a good way to start a piece this way (also if you are very new to alcohol ink) is because we often don't need as much ink on the paper as we think we do.... sometimes less is more... so that one spot of ink you put down, can easily be turned in to 3 new spots of ink simply by adding more alcohol - also making it easier to create something wispy if that is what you were going for.
I'm pretty happy with how this alcohol ink painting ended up.
The colors I used were Copic cool grey no 7 and Ranger Currant. These two colors go so well together, I absolutely love them. There is sort of a softness to them when used together.
I thought of using silver, which I think also would have looked really good - but still happy I went with Pinata brass - looks good with almost all colors if you ask me... lol...
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and hope some of you liked the "real time". (and all my talking and "thinking out loud")
