I totally agree that a supply list and source information are extremely helpful, especially for beginners. Thank you

That turned out so lovely and I love the random drop fix!!!

I really wish that a supply list was included so I could gather my supplies, and then paint along. Ilike to have the necessary supplies at hand when I start instead of getting up and down to look for supplies. Thanks

Just beautiful, as always, Vera! ❤🖤❤🖤❤ Love how you are able to give such practical and great solutions!

Thank you so very much Hilary!! I was actually upset that I got the drop on the background, but now I’m happy that happened so I could demonstrate that when something doesn’t go as planned, it’s not time to scrap the art. With a bit of careful thought and creativity, solutions to alcohol ink mishaps can always be found 😊

How fun! I'm new to alcohol inks but do have grafix paper. Can you tell me what the tool you used to remove the ink is called? By the sound of it, the tip sounds like it's silicone, but the fact that it looks like a pen is throwing me off. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge...🥰

[@WorthingtonFineArt]

That little tool is called a Fantastix- it’s made of foam and you dip it in clean alcohol which gets sucked up into the foam. Then wipe away ink, and wipe it on a paper towel or a wee pad like I’m using here. I hope you enjoyed my video and I hope it inspired you!!

Beautiful painting Vera. And great save with the background. If you wanted to mount this for a card, would you need to protect it with Kamar Varnish?

[@pegjohnson9475]

Never heard of fantastix. Can you explain them. Thx
