[@kellycooper1639]

Thank you for showing so many interesting techniques. Very pretty!

[@bernadettedann1037]

What a great tutorial! I agree with other comments that you spend a good time actually showing all types of texture. And NO music to distract us!

[@AskariArt]

+Bernadette Dann thank you. ❤️🥰

[@jackiekelch3935]

Yes! Great tutorial for sure. No distractions!

[@patellson2621]

Thank you - you clarified a few of my issues.

[@wenofzen]

This is very helpful. It helps to hear you say it is OK and good to explore and experiment. It is very freeing!

[@JuneK618]

This is by far the most thorough tutorial I’ve come across. The one or two color suggestion for starters is so valuable as most people would go with as many or even buying a set thinking the more colors, more options. I know I’m guilty of this 😖. Poster papers and photo papers are also an awesome cheaper alternative to Yupo for practice. Great for people who are on a budget but still want to pursue this hobby. Lastly, I actually love the gold accent. It brings out the design even more. Awesome work. Thanks for sharing. New sub here!

[@AskariArt]

Thank you ☺️❤️

Do you name each different object.Or start of a painting and let it do its thing.

[@mayhemcraftsanddiys]

Thank you for all the tips and techniques, I’m just starting to get into alcohol inks. They were my mom’s and she made jewelry with them. She’s not here anymore so I feel like I can remember her when I use them and try to create something beautiful like she did. Thank you so much!! I’ve learned a lot!!

You are fantastic! I learned so much by watching you! Thank you sooo much❤️

[@cindystyner5688]

I've been looking at different forms of painting, trying to decide what I may want to learn and start. This is the first time I've seen Alcohol Ink Painting. This is WONDERFUL!!! I love the outcome, and I feel it's something I can do. Thank you so much!

[@AskariArt]

You're welcome Cindy! I'm glad your excited in learning this new medium

[@PamelaGoodman-56]

When you first began...it made me think of a seahorse lol. Gorgeous colors!

Love that! Thank you!

[@atsu8344]

Thanks 🙏🏻 you’re very clever

[@user-tn1cs5bu9w]

You’re doing such a fantastic job motivating, encouraging not to give up and teaching so much with such patience! Thank you! Love your style!!!!

[@AskariArt]

Thank you so much 💓

[@tlrmd4you]

Thank you! I am going to be your new stalker! I work with epoxy doing table and counter tops. I also get requests to do these looks with a metallic going faintly through it. I am not an artist, but trying so desperately to be able to do these different techniques to give me the look I want, VERY DIFFICULT! Thank you, I will keep on trying

[@victoriad1127]

Thank you for this lesson! I love that you use a brush also and I have a Tim holtz air puffer that I will have to find in my stash. I kept thinking that it’s kinda sad that this is on a practice sheet cause you should really frame it!!

[@AskariArt]

You are so welcome! For me it's all practice. I may start giving these away to subscribers soon!

[@josettearmstrong6848]

I guess I should just be patient I’ve been doing alcohol inks only for four months I started on tiles now I’m working my way up to the back of photo paper for practicing I watch your videos over and over and over again you have the best videos that teach people that I found so far please keep posting videos

[@AskariArt]

Thank you. I will

[@ritalewis-manos345]

Hi What photo paper did you use ? The one i got has logo on the back !!

[@savemoney41]

He compared him self to Bob ross Instant thumb down

[@AskariArt]

I didn't compare myself to Bob Ross. I grew up watching him. I loved his show as a Child. I will never be close to his skills, I mentioned how he inspired me growing up.

[@jenclark7511]

Thank you so much for your time, really appreciated. Only just started and you've actually given me more confidence. Been a bit scared I think to add as much alcohol? Honestly loved what you have produced, I shall seek out more of your videos. When I was young and said I loved Picasso, people used to think I was mad! Always like abstract art. Thanks again, you're great!

[@AskariArt]

Thank you Jen I appreciate your lovely words. They empower me to make more videos. Thank you and can't wait to see your first piece.

[@cynthiaroberts9381]

Very pretty. Love this

[@AskariArt]

Appreciated it

[@kathryn7102]

Thank you, thank you for generously sharing your techniques with others! I've searched in vain for a true tutorial on alcohol inks, and most videos are a few seconds long (at warp speed), and it's impossible to see what the artist is doing. Not only is your video detailed, but it's relaxing and encouraging. I can't wait to start practicing! Much appreciated 🤗

[@AskariArt]

You're welcome Kathryn. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I've got more videos check out my other videos. They may help you along your Journey

[@pamelafeather6405]

I agree, this video offers a whole new level of learning for me. many thanks, I am now a subscriber.

[@rachelvanwymeersch]

This is really helpful, thank you for sharing your process. It's so nice to see artists sharing their expertise. I'm just starting out with alcohol inks and my biggest battle at the moment is trying to create pieces that don't look overworked. You see some peoples work which looks like the ink has just found its own beautiful form with very little intervention, and even though I know that probably isn't the case it can be frustrating trying to achieve that effect!

[@lorraineyerby755]

Thank you so very much, a brilliant tutorial. I have only just started this new process and you have helped me so much. I love your calm approach too!

[@AskariArt]

You're welcome Lorraine 😊

[@beckyeberts7791]

Thank you for your helpful instruction. I have the Ranger alcohol inks and the tip is so large it drops way too much ink out. Would you happen to have any suggestions to help with that issue? I know I could get dropper bottles and transfer them, but I have a lot of inks so that doesn't seem to be the easiest solution. Hoping for something simpler to solve the problem. Thanks!

[@susanleitch1230]

I am new to this and so far your posts have been my favourites. No music, commentary only on what your're doing and SO informative. Really really helpful. Thank you.

[@AskariArt]

You're very welcome and thank you. I try to have both the ones with music have a meditative relaxing aspect while the tutorials allow for you to understand my thought process.

[@tracyblakeley2709]

This is an awesome demo for a beginner like me. Thank you 😊

[@AskariArt]

[@rhondacalabro867]

Have only recently stumbled on alcohol ink art and what fun it must be to work in this medium. You’ve been the best and most comprehensive artist/teacher I’ve come across thus far. Thanks for sharing your art and process.

[@angiebrinkley4706]

I'm just starting out with this medium, and I've seen a lot of alcohol ink artists use 99% alcohol rather than 91%... was wanting your take on how much a difference it makes....beautiful work btw....

[@sassyepiclife]

Thank you for sharing your skills! I learned so much just from this one video! I usually work with acrylics only, but am looking at venturing into ink.

[@AskariArt]

Glad it was helpful! Can't wait to see what you make!

[@ameliamitchell2642]

Hi! can you use alcohol ink on acrylic primed canvas?

[@AskariArt]

I've tried this and haven't had any luck. My acrylic paints tend to start lifting and gumming up.

[@barbarascott1233]

Thanks so much for letting me watch and learn while you create. Please do more demo paintings! They're very helpful!

[@suzannebrighton932]

Beauteous, I’m new to alcohol inks, so far, I just watched Videos but I love any tips and tricks that you can share. I have subscribed , so I can watch more before I practice. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariehizz2039]

I’m here by accident. Eas watching an indian woman artist doing a great ink art. Compared to her you’re doing progressively worse and worse messy stuff.. and you have 3,3k of likes, while she has about 80 likes. World is unfair.

[@lindawhite1515]

THANK you for telling us about the plastic poster board. I bought alcohol inks & I was practicing on tiles - disaster. I also didn’t want to buy the very expensive papers most people on here suggest. Maybe if I get better at this …..

[@leesmac404]

Beginner here ??? Do the inks already have alcohol in them? If not, and I have inks (maybe they are alcohol inks, need to look)...also 2 more ?’s. 1) Can I add alcohol to regular acrylic paint? 2) Can I add fine colored powder to some alcohol???? Thank you!!! Love your videos!!!💜

[@AskariArt]

Thank you, So the inks that I use actually have alcohol in them. Please don't add alcohol to acrylic because it will break up the acrylic and it won't work properly. You can add alcohol to powdered colors I did that in one of my videos I can't remember which one where I mixed my own color using alcohol or blending solution (Tim Holtz) to make a unique metallic color

[@leesmac404]

One more question. Thanks you sooo very much. So, I have Liquitex acrylic inks…can I mix them with alcohol and be able to do alcohol ink paintings with that mixture?? Sorry I don’t know, just buying so many things and trying and not sure what I should REALLY be buying??? Thank you for your guidance!!!! 💜

[@AskariArt]

@@leesmac404 I don't believe liquitix acrylic will work with alcohol if you mix it. It will turn gummy. You can do alcohol ink paintings with either Tim Holtz or copic (more expensive) there are a few other companies but they need to be alcohol based. However, you can paint with alcohol ink let it dry then paint acrylic on top of the already dry alcohol ink. You can't mix them together wet.

[@leesmac404]

Thank you so much!!!

[@barbaracooper7836]

Too much talking - just paint

[@AskariArt]

Yea I Gotta stop doing that.

[@JimKeeton]

Hi, this is Dolores. New to the craft and binge watching tutorials for guidance. I have a Ranger blower that I am having difficulty directing, don't know if the bulb will soften with use but I am far from directing the ink in the manner I want. You seem to use a downward approach and from other videos I watched the angle seemed to be almost parallel with the surface. What angle gives the most control.

[@vickiskoss1511]

Liked the art but too much talking

[@AskariArt]

+Vicki Skoss thank you, I have other videos that are straight up painting speed up with music it might suite you more.

Thank you for the detailed video tutorial. I am just learning to use alcohol inks and what they do. Your very helpful. Thank you. I will be watching your tutorial all the time. 🎉

[@alisonwilliams7715]

I did my very first alcohol ink painting today and just naturally piked up the brush to adjust parts that I wasn't happy with. It's like it is never truly finished. Lots of fun learning. Thank you so much for the demonstration 👏👏

This was great! I worked along with you. Mine looks nothing like yours. Lol. Practice right? I used my Air brush and wasn’t happy with the little fingers it left. Too much air pressure. I will get that little hand blower. You are really awesome. I am going to spread your name around. :)

[@AskariArt]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@josettearmstrong6848]

Humity plays a big part in your alcohol ink i learned

[@AskariArt]

Never thought of that but I can see how moisture in the air could effect it

[@d.j.recchia5572]

Please explain the humidity factor, living in Florida, I was going to go outside, to avoid the alcohol fumes, give me some details, and bring me back in.

[@AskariArt]

Humidity plays a factor on yupo but I'm not seeing it affect canvas as much. Due to the texture of canvas being a little rougher than the paper.

[@cherylayton7189]

This is so helpful. Bought 91 percent alcohol in error. Can I use it until I receive the right one?

[@AskariArt]

Yes you can use 91%. I have a video showing the differences between them kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWLciGOAq9msmck I wouldn't go below 91% though

Great video! As a beginner I had planned on 2 to 3 colors... but was glad you verified that was a good idea. I also liked that you kept reminding us that this was a practice and don't get tensed up. I have been doing artwork for years... and still can tense up. Love the free flowing look of alcohol art and am anxious to give it a try.

[@davevandusen7737]

You’re a really great instructor! I have a question. You said that the paper cannot be porous, but you paint on canvas and lined. Do you have to prime canvases or linens to make them non porous?

[@AskariArt]

Yea Dave, I have a video that shows you how I prime linen and I use kilz2 for canvas to prevent it from absorbing and staining.

[@davevandusen7737]

@@AskariArt Thank you so much! I kept hearing you refer to it, but I’d never heard about it before. I can’t wait to see part 5 of that large piece! Very impressive how you’ve turned it around! I learned from your mistake to always check new inks to see what the levels of pigment are before putting it on. Also to not trash something right away and learn from it!

If I wanted a gallery wrapped black canvas to paint on could I cover it with black acrylic paint? I am very excited about your work and teaching style. Thank you for sharing. Molly McCollum

[@AskariArt]

Thank you, unfortunately acrylic paint tends to break up when alcohol is added to it. Not all acrylic paint but some. I have used acrylic paint as a base and the alcohol tends to destroy it and it looks really bad. So from my experience I don't think black acrylic paint would work. But if you do give it a try and it works let me know

Wow after the line you drew with ink the started blowing at several points you made a peacock and you did not see it? I would of stopped and looked to see how can I keep this cool peacock looking and add the feather with other colors to make a peacock was at your first few blowing strokes rewind your video to beginning and slowly go forward, it was awesome you made a running flying like peacock lol now slow forward to the 8:03 stop freeze the frame right at 8:03 you will see a like peacock style that is awesome and it looks feathery, yeah interesting art at 8:03, can you do it again? Maybe not…lol 🎉😅😊 oh and BTW love your videos and was thinking on using the foam boards they have foam between 2 poster boards and it’s called fam boards, have you tried on those yet? Can you do one in video? Thank you so much. Oh the ink painting are similar to acrylic pour blow paintings glad can use ink or can I make my own ink using acrylic paints too?

[@AskariArt]

Thanks again. I sometimes do see things in it, but I keep going because something in my head says "you're not done" I can never repeat it to look the same. It's always different. I truly appreciate you and I have not tried foam boards as I think they might be porous. This ink is a dye based as acrylic paints are pigment based. You may want to try acrylic dyes which are activated with water instead of alcohol. I'm not sure how they work exactly but would love to try them one day.

[@nsmith3671]

I LOVE your work......and your teaching style! What is your blow dryer? When I use my travel blow dryer on low, it blows everything off the substrate, ugh! Thanks!

Hi , I was trying to use my alcohol paints but they can be spread out as you do so, they have small dry pieces that can’t be disolve ! Do you think they expired ! They are pearl colors! Is there a solution? I’ve just bought them two weeks ago! Thanks

Pearls work a bit differently than the regular alcohol ink. You might want to use Blending solution with pearls.

Hi, I just subscribed....I'm loving your videos. Can I ask please if you dip the brush in alcohol before you use it and also, is there alcohol in the hand blowing tool you use?

[@grahamwilde1277]

Great use of a brush , finally an artist shows how to actually use an artistic versus crafty approach. I personally use brushes and only the blow dryer when mixing the alcohol or blender solutions into the inks. Any tips to how to seal the finished painting? I'm still having a little trouble sealing the finished product . Can it be placed under matting and glass framed without sealing.

[@AskariArt]

Hi Graham, Thank you so much! Yeah I'm more about using the brush to move the ink the way I like it not leaving it to chance, It's more of an intent of the artist's perspective when painting. Here's a video that shows how to seal a painting after I've completed it. This approach would work on paper or canvas. The video is showing how I do it on Canvas but it's the same process kzbin.info/www/bejne/mou7maqcmtajqsU I think you could put it under matting or glass as long as the glass is UV. The problem is sunlight and UV. That is what fades some of the alcohol in colors not all colors. I do have some demo pieces that my wife framed that sit in a bathroom that were never sealed or under uv glass protection and it was painted 4 years ago. it just depends on where it's hung

I am so impressed with how this turned out especially since it looks like you were dealing with a great deal of humidity. I have two dehumidifiers in my studio and some days it’s still not enough to rid the air of it to be able to get crisp, clean lines and ripples and its SO frustrating! I always use my different blow dryers and never caught on to use the handheld blower but I’m so glad I learned something new today!
