ALCOHOL INK PAINTING DEMO - How to Use Alcohol Inks for Beginners. AUG,2020

[@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!

[@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!!

[@AskariArt]

You're welcome Mitzi

[@loverlyme]

I have a big belief in starting small. Someone recommended this to me when I was starting to do watercolour painting. It's helped me a lot. I'm going to cut my boards down a lot before trying this on either my yupo paper or on anything larger. Luckily, I recently picked up some plastic hollow-core plastic board from outside a factory recently. I was intending to use this for making some sewing fabric storage. I'm sure there'll be lots of smaller bits leftover so that will be useful for practising. Now, you've inspired me to try alcohol ink art. I bought the inks quite a few years ago and have never quite gotten around to starting it. (I have about 100 projects on the go at any one time. I'm still restoring my courtyard table and in the midst of creating a movable shade to go over it. Grommets are done- just need to attach the ends to the poles somehow, without them slipping down! My native tree drops gumnuts and debris onto the table constantly so I need something over the table before attempting any artwork outside. From what I've read, alcohol inks need to be used in plenty of air- not inside! Thanks for the inspiration and ideas.

[@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 !!

[@suedixon8478]

I got into art in the 80-90s and loved mixed medias/abstract/handmade paper. With abstract there really is no right or wrong and everyone sees something different. Then I got divorced…. And am just now getting back to art. I love the resin work, acrylic pours, etc. but just haven’t started any of if. All the supplies are expensive (for me), but watching your videos, shows that I wouldn’t need a lot to start out, since I would need a lot of practice/experimenting first. Thank you for showing us how you get all these different effects… My creative juices are flowing again and I’m ready to “play”!!! lol

[@AskariArt]

That's amazing Sue I can't wait for you to share what you make I have a FB group called Askari Art critiques

[@rhondi123]

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.

[@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!!!!

Thank you so much 💓

[@MB-hz7wm]

Verbally walking us through your thought process, calm voice, layered examples, your comfort with ambiguity and reminders that this is practice... all come together for a great tutorial. Thanks! I'd like to see examples of how to create galaxies w/stars✨

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

THIS VIDEO SHOWED ME TO LEARN TO BE MORE PATIENT TO PRACTICE MORE. I STARTED OUT YEARS AGO AND LOST MY INTEREST. BUT NOW THERE ARE SO MUCH GORGEOUS ALCOHOL INK ARTISTS ON KZbin, I WILL PICK IT UP AGAIN. THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO AND THIS PAINTING TURNED OUT REALLY NICE.

[@AskariArt]

Thank you Ann. Appreciate the kind comment

[@loverlyme]

I love monochrome as the basis for art, so this is a great fit for me. So many useful tips. I would never have thought about lifting colour off with a spare brush, despite doing this quite a bit in watercolour painting.

[@alisonwilliams7715]

Absolutely love the softness of the area on the right 😍

[@AskariArt]

+Alison Williams thank you!

[@lilaaraby3616]

A great video for anyone who works with alcohol ink. It makes me less afraid to move the ink and alcohol around. You are a wonderful artist and a great teacher. I’m getting back into alcohol ink painting and am inspired by you to experiment more. Keep making videos for us to enjoy.

[@sylviarowlands1883]

This video was very helpful thank you. My 5 yr old grandson said i have to make him a birthday card so I’ve decided to try an INK painting. Never done one before so 🤞. Thank you for keeping it simple.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

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

[@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 👏👏

[@AskariArt]

+Alison Williams yea that's always hard. I had a video about knowing when to call it done. it's always preference

[@saltlifegull4091]

Wow! Super teacher - just beautiful:) Your best advice for newbies is look at it as a 'practice.' Thanks for being attentive to your comments. It matters that you care that much. Subscriber from NW FL.

Thank you so much. Yes I have videos on canvas and how to prep the canvas

[@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

[@juliecurtis9517]

You have an amazing teaching talent. TYSM! I just bought my 1st inks after 15 years of doing watercolor, acrylic, pigment, and die inks. I decided it's time to learn something new 😊 After watching this, I feel better prepared to start and have fun.

[@maxinethomas9380]

I’ve just ordered and now waiting for my alcohol inks to be delivered. So I’m bing watching so many tutorials. So pleased to have found you. Will be watching more of yours. So very helpful, your techniques are fabulous. So many times whilst watching I was amazed as I went from loving your composition to thinking you’d gone too far and messed it up. You are amazing. Can’t wait to get started. 😊

[@PamWerstak]

I am not an artist and I haven’t any artistic ability. My 2 granddaughters, 8 & 10, love making art. I’ll have them for a couple weeks and I need to have some projects planned. I like your tutorial. I also like that you keep it fairly simple to understand. Also only using 2-3 color is a good suggestion. I hope it’s something they’ll enjoy. Thank you!

[@bonniewood5286]

Thank you so much for all these tips and tricks! I am a watercolourist and this reminds me so much of negative painting the way you use your blower thingy and brush! You’ve convinced me to try!💗🇨🇦

[@AskariArt]

You're very welcome! I can't remember what negative painting is, I may need to look that up.

[@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.

I am inspired by your calmness and encouragement. I've been doing this for a year or so and am still learning. I just ordered a Giotto Rocket!

[@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....

[@mewdar]

wow.....this is the first of your videos I've seen and I have watched quite a few for beginners but this has got to be the best, I have only had a little play with inks and am amazed how the different ways of using the inks and air at all the different effects, so much to learn...........I'm itching for more so have subscribed to your channel exciting times ahead...........love the brushing too.

[@AskariArt]

+mewdar thank you so much for the kind comment and subscribing. You can get some really nice effects with the brush. good luck can't wait to see what you make.

I’m on day two of binging alcohol ink videos and have learned so much from your video. I absolutely love the attitude of it is just practice just keep going and try it.

[@khcrowley]

Your tutorial was very helpful. I appreciated your comments about it being practice and not be afraid of trying new techniques. Thanks.

[@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 ☺️❤️

[@wendymartin8651]

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

[@karenstrong8887]

I am a painter first but a few years ago I saw and loved some alcohol ink art. I have all of the stuff but I didn’t have your video until now. I was awful and I have been wanting to use what I have and make something I loved. Another perfectionist here and it helped knowing it doesn’t have to be and I can fix what I don’t love. It also helped knowing all of the things I did wrong and how to correct them or try or practice until it starts to be how I want it. I have subbed and now I will just watch a couple more of your video’s because I want to know how to do this on a canvas. Thank you.

[@AskariArt]

You are very welcome.

[@marionmeeker5578]

Love your instructions, encouragement, and tips. I am not a born artist but am trying really hard to get better. Often I feel that anything I do is not worth the paper its on. Your encouragement helps me to keep trying. Thank you!

I love this! Someone had a 1 minute video on KZbin showing her Alcohol Ink painting, and then I had to find out more. You are a wonderful artist! 🥰 FYI: a cosmetologist is a person licensed to cut, color, style, chemically process, and other things with hair. However, when schooling, you are trained to care for and maintain healthy hair, nails, skin, etc.

[@robinpishnock3097]

I have been dirty pour painting and recently using resin and alcohol ink. I however couldn’t find 99% alcohol so I used 70%. I am learning to move the paint, today was the first for using the brush. I enjoy that technique. Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy learning from you.

[@AskariArt]

70% may not give you the results because of the water content. Let me know how it turned out very curious

[@pantalaimon6809]

Thank you. You removed my fear of trying alcohol ink. And you gave info about questions I have had that others haven’t explained. I believe I can dare to try now. Also you made me laugh, you really didn’t like that yellow card you drew 😂. Also I didn’t know it was possible to do this on canvas. Thank you once again. 😀

I’m an old hairdresser as well. There’s also a diffuser called a “hot sock”. You put it over the nozzle of dryer and it blocks the intensity of the air. Not sure if they even make them anymore but they are made out of some kind of scrubby sponge material. Best part it weighs absolutely nothing. Which is wonderful!

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!

[@barbbayliss8026]

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.

[@jenniferlturner9330]

Well Howdy Neighbor! I live just up north from you in Celina! I started using AI’s during the pandemic about 8 months ago and I found your channel by searching for alcohol inks on canvas as I am just starting to try my hand at them after using other substrates. 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!

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!

You are an awesome teacher.Thank you . I have been doing alcohol ink art and in the last 2 days got brave enough,and did it on canvas!and they turned out well.I use a regular plastic bottle with a thin nozzle to fill my alcohol, and kind of spray it on the canvas, and also use a sponge brush to spread it.My Big problem is,I am impatient and feel ,oh I must hurry up and I in my 2nd piece,added a color that kind of did not sit well,but finally managed to salvage the painting.I have so much to learn.I used the dust air can,my fingers freeze, but I can move the ink better than with a metal straw and my breath.I will order the lens cleaner air thing u use.Once more,Thanks a lot.

[@AskariArt]

Thank you Redmaple2008, it takes time, patience and practice. That's awesome I'm glad you salvaged the painting. That's the wonderful thing with Alcohol Inks and please don't use a straw, the fumes are very dangerous for your lungs. 💯
