Alcohol ink - How to do lines/ripples [30]

Alcohol ink fluid art. How to do lines and ripples
Did another little "one technique" video, this time on doing lines or waves or ripples or whatever you might call it.
This is such a fun technique and one of my absolute favorites. You can do so many things with this technique - different shapes, colors etc.
If you are new to ink I think this is a really good technique to learn. And a really good way to practice using your hairdryer in different ways.
In this video I used my Remington volume and curl hairdryer.
I hope you will enjoy this little video. I would love to hear what you think about it and if any of you had fun trying this.
Feel free to leave a comment or question if you have any and I will do my best to answer you.

thank you very much for this video and these explanations 🙏🏻 luckily there are people like you to be kind enough to explain how to do it .... unfortunately this is not the case for everyone ... this is a shame because we do not all want to trade in it but just have a hobby that allows us to find pleasure or to get away from our problems... thank you for the time you take to do this and for your kindness 💗

Me too ! Most want you to pay to learn how to do anything. I have pretty much got the Roses, and I didn’t realise until I saw it it proper day light the brass was beautiful! You would think if I could manage a Roses I could do lines but nope….just lots of ink in one spot and little to no lines. So frustrating, but wow Randi you have given me hope too now ! I really appreciate you giving these little tutorials, it’s so very generous of you 💞💞💞

[@randihart5731]

@@shaz8486 when making the lines it’s really all about getting the right amount of ink and alcohol. Mix some together, if the lines don’t appear the way you want them to, add either more ink or alcohol until you get clear lines 👍😊

Many thanks 😊

[@randihart5731]

Happy to help 🙏 I find that metallic works a bit better if you don’t mix ink and iso first. I put ink directly on the paper, metallic on top of the ink, iso around it and gently mix it together with hairdryer before making lines 👍 Header colors are sunset orange, sunshine yellow and moss😀 all Ranger

[@prajaktabhat4892]

I am new to this medium and finding it real hard to control the ink. M definitely going to try this technique. One question though, i have a 1000W dryer. Is it too much of a power? Is it why i am finding it hard to get these rings? Also i live in an extremely humid climate. That too has an adverse effect, right? Sorry too many questions! Hope they are answered!

[@randihart5731]

Hi 👋 humidity and ink does not always work well together, sadly. Controlling the ink is really all about learning how you use your hairdryer. Mine is 1000 W too, but you can definitely make it work for you. At the end of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6W5c2isjcmolbM I try to demonstrate how to use the hairdryer- and how not to use it. About the rings, if they don’t appear you need to add either more alcohol or ink to the mix. It’s different also depending on what color you use. Hope it helps 😃

[@mick7827]

Hello Randi. I notice that your ink stayed the same shape (or S shape) after you put on the paper, at least it spread very little. But mine spread into a large area quickly and lost the shape(or S shape) . That’s why I could hardly ever make the same petal shape like yours. I tried at least 30 times diluted ink , originally ink, ink with a few drops of blending solution. Would you mind to tell how to make the ink stay the shape like yours?

[@randihart5731]

It could be that you’re pointing your hairdryer directly at the ink so it’s impossible to control were or how much it moves. (I have a video with hairdryer techniques) Or it could be the paper you’re using- I use Nara paper and the ink tends to stay in the same place.
